Authorities have identified the knifeman who stabbed 11 people inside a Michigan Walmart as Bradford James Gille.
Gille, 42, will face charges of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder, the Grand Traverse county prosecutor has revealed.
The horrific attack unfolded at the Walmart in Traverse City on Saturday afternoon.
Gille allegedly entered the store during a calm shopping afternoon and randomly stabbed the victims with a folding pocket knife, authorities say.
Minutes after the attack, he was in custody with the help of bystanders at the store.
Gille remains in custody at the Grand Traverse County Jail and is expected to be arraigned Monday or Tuesday.

Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea said quick action by bystanders helped to save lives.
‘I cannot command everyone that was involved enough. When you stop and look from the time of call to the time of actual custody, the individual was detained within one minute,’ Shea said at a press conference.
‘That is remarkable. When you look at it in that mitigated Lord knows how many additional victims.’
Shea said the 11 victims were both men and women and they ranged in age from 21 to 84.
One victim was a Walmart employee. Munson Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tom Schermerhorn said at a press conference Sunday that one patient was treated and released; two were in serious condition; and the rest are in fair condition.
