Brother: Walmart attacker a danger for years

The family of a homeless man with mental issues accused of stabbing 11 people at a Walmart near Traverse City on Saturday say they’ve begged authorities to institutionalize him for decades.

The man’s brother, Shane Gille, said he yelled at law enforcement officers who arrived at his Pellston home on Sunday to tell him his brother was in custody.

“I laid into them,” Gille told Bridge Michigan. “We’ve been throwing flags for the last 28 years that he needs a kind of placement.”
