11 stabbed at northern Michigan Walmart; suspect in custody
A lone suspect is in custody after allegedly stabbing 11 people at a Walmart store in Traverse City, Mich., late Saturday afternoon. File Photo by Justin Lane/EPA-EFE July 26 (UPI) -- A lone attacker has been arrested after allegedly randomly stabbing 11 victims late Saturday afternoon at a Walmart in Traverse City, Mich. None of the 11 stabbing victims has died, but three are undergoing surgery following the attack that occurred around 5 p.m. EDT, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported. The lone suspect used a folding knife in what appeared to be a random attack, Grand Traverse County Sheriff Mike Shea told the Record-Eagle. The suspect "appears" to be a Michigan resident, Shea said during a press conference. Michigan State Police crime lab investigators are helping to gather and analyze evidence at the crime scene, which is located in the Grand Traverse Crossing mall in the southwestern portion of Traverse City. The stabbing victims were taken to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, where five are in serious condition and six are in critical condition. "We are working closely with local authorities and emergency services to ensure the best possible care for those impacted," hospital staff said. Traverse City is a popular vacation destination at the southern end of Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay in northern lower Michigan. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a potential 2026 presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg, moved to Traverse City in 2022. The city had a year-round population of 15,707 in 2023, but the population there and in nearby communities swells greatly during the summer months. It's known for beautiful sandy beaches, great freshwater fishing and hosting an annual National Cherry Festival that runs from the end of June through the Independence Day holiday. Traverse City is located 150 miles north of Grand Rapids and 255 miles northwest of Detroit.

2 dead, 5 injured in Indianapolis early-morning mass shooting
Two teens were killed and five others injured during a mass shooting early Saturday morning in downtown Indianapolis. File Photo by Justin Lane/EPA-EFE July 5 (UPI) -- Two teens are dead and five others wounded after a mass shooting in downtown Indianapolis early Saturday morning. The shooting killed two boys, ages 16 and 15, at about 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of South Illinois and West Washington streets in downtown Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Star reported. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Chief Chris Bailey blamed parents for allowing hundreds of teens to go unsupervised while out at night. "This kind of violence ... is completely unacceptable and unnecessary," Bailey told media. "We are not your children's keepers. You are," he added. "Parents and guardians have got to step up." The 16-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other boy died after being taken to a nearby hospital. Four other shooting victims also were taken to local hospitals, and a fifth walked into a hospital. Police found the victims while responding to a report of a fight at the same location and said four of the surviving shooting victims are teens, and the other is 21. Two of the teens are 19-year-old adults, and the others are ages 16 and 17. Police have not determined a motive but detained seven for questioning and recovered several firearms. The mass shooting was among several violent incidents that occurred after the annual Independence Day fireworks ended on Friday night. Bailey said police made 20 arrests during the night and recovered firearms from two juveniles in the downtown area before the mass shooting happened. He said one was carrying a semi-automatic rifle that was stuffed into the youth's pants.
