TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — At least 11 people were stabbed at a Walmart in Traverse City, and a suspect was in custody, authorities said Saturday.

Munson Healthcare announced on social media that 11 individuals are receiving care at the largest hospital in northern Michigan, with spokesperson Megan Brown confirming all were injured in a stabbing incident.

She did not immediately have information on their conditions. Munson Healthcare said it would provide updates “as appropriate.”

The Michigan State Police reported that the local sheriff’s office is currently investigating the situation, with further details being scarce. Authorities have urged people to steer clear of the area while the investigation continues.

A fire truck, multiple police vehicles and uniformed first responders were seen outside the Walmart following the incident.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said her office was in contact with police about the “horrible news.”

“Our thoughts are with the victims and the community reeling from this brutal act of violence,” Whitmer said.

A Walmart corporate spokesperson, Joe Pennington, said by email that the company was “working with police and defer questions to them right now.”

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in a social media post that bureau officials were responding to “provide any necessary support.”

Traverse City, located along Lake Michigan’s coast, is a favored holiday destination. It is famous for its cherry festival, wineries, and lighthouses, and lies approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers) east of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
