<p>According to some reports, the good guy with the gun was identified as Derick Perry, who witnesses saw charging after the attacker and holding him until law enforcement arrived just a few minutes later.</p>

<p>Another man, 39-year-old Matt Kolakowski, told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/27/us/traverse-city-walmart-stabbing-michigan-wwk-hnk">CNN</a> that he was with his brother and 13-year-old daughter at Walmart when the attacker started his rampage. Kolakowski, a Marine, said his instincts kicked in and he jumped into action.</p>
<p>“I thought to myself, ‘Well, I don’t got no weapon, so what am I going to do?’ So, I just grabbed an empty grocery cart and just took off after him as hard as I could,” he said.</p>
<p>Kolakowski said he saw the attacker stab one man in the shoulder and a woman in the back as they were running from the store.</p>
<p>“He was screaming something about him being a soldier, and that everybody in Walmart were bad people,” Kolakowski said of the suspect. “His eyes were just bulging out of his head.”</p>
<p>Sheriff Shea said that Gille used a 3.5-inch &#8220;folding knife,&#8221; stabbing people near the checkout line at random. Only the ages and sexes of the victims have been released. Six men and five women were wounded in the attack, with the oldest victim being an 84-year-old woman and the youngest being a 29-year-old woman. One of the victims was a Walmart employee.</p>
<p>Four of the victims remain in serious condition and seven are in fair condition, Munson Healthcare said on Sunday, according to <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2025/07/27/walmart-stabbing-traverse-city-bystanders-video-suspect/85395345007/">The Detroit Free Press</a>. The Sunday update from the hospital is a positive development after six victims were described as being in critical condition and five were in serious condition after the attack.</p>
