On Saturday, a man armed with a firearm and other bystanders worked together to halt a suspect who had already stabbed 11 individuals at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan. According to the report, the suspect, whose identity has not been officially released, had begun his attack in the store’s parking lot before moving inside. The presence of armed citizens and passersby was pivotal in bringing the situation under control. Local authorities have not yet confirmed the suspect’s motives or whether any weapon other than the knife was used in the attack.
