Cecilia Clary speaks on witnessing Walmart stabbing and finding healing
TRAVERSR CITY — A witness to the July 26 Walmart stabbing is speaking out on her experience and how it has impacted her life.
Cecilia Clary of Traverse City was present when the incident began near the pharmacy section of the store.
Clary shared on Good Day Northern Michigan what it was like to be inside the store as it played out.
Bradford James Gille, 42, of Afton, was detained and later arraigned in the 86th District Court in Traverse City, and a not-guilty plea was entered on the charges of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder.
At an Aug. 22 competency hearing, Gille was ruled not competent to stand trial.
Gille is accused of stabbing 11 people at the Traverse City Walmart on Saturday.
The weapon used was a folding knife with a 3 ½ inch cutting blade. Aid was provided to the victims by responding law enforcement, citizens and other emergency responders.
Per the August ruling, Gille will remain at a forensic center for treatment to try to regain his competency to eventually stand trial.
Currently, there is no timeline for Gille’s potential trial; it will likely depend on his treatment.
