By the time an employee in the checkout area yelled about a man with a knife, it was too late. Nearly a dozen people had been stabbed at the busy Walmart in Traverse City, a tourist town on the shore of Lake Michigan,

The man was captured in three minutes thanks to "citizen involvement," Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael D. Shea said.

Stabbing suspect Bradford James Gille was subdued within minutes with the help of bystanders, authorities said.
