"Regrettably, less than 24 hours after receiving this order, a tragic series of events occurred in Traverse City," the sheriff's office said.

Suspect had long history of mental health issues and was charged in a grave mutilation case in 2017. He also had run-ins with police at least twice this year.

Following the stabbing of 11 victims at a Walmart store near Traverse City, Michigan, on Saturday, Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea said in a press conference that what bystanders did to stop the knife-wielding man was “amazing.”
