Mass mall violence

During a news conference the official told reporters the suspect ‘appears’ to be a Michigan resident, while declining to identify the suspect.

Shea said that all 11 victims were alive, with 3 victims in surgery.

All 11 victims were transported to Munson Healthcare in norther Michigan.

Stated the entity in a Facebook release in part: ‘We can confirm that 11 victims are being treated at Munson Medical Center. As a result, our Emergency Department is currently experiencing a higher-than-usual volume of patients.

No known motive

‘We are working closely with local authorities and emergency services to ensure the best possible care for those impacted. We ask for the public’s patience and understanding as we manage this increased demand.

We will provide updates as appropriate and continue to support our community during this difficult time.’

The incident comes just one day after a man firing gunshots at a mall in Massachusetts. No one was injured during that incident, as frenzied shoppers frantically ran for cover amid fears of yet another mall massacre that has become emblematic of the American experience in recent years.

Traverse City, which the U.S. Census Bureau reports has a population of nearly 16,000, is in northern Michigan, about 150 miles north of Grand Rapids and 255 miles northwest of Detroit.

No known motive to the mass stabbing at the mall was immediately known.
