(WXYZ) — The suspect in a stabbing of 11 people at a Traverse City Walmart earlier this summer was found not competent to stand trial.
Bradford Gille was in court for a competency hearing on Friday, and according to 9&10 News, a judge ruled he is not mentally competent to stand trial.
Gille will now remain at a center for treatment, and according to 9&10, Gille reportedly believes providers are threatening or will harm him, and he feels the forensic center he's staying at is a concentration camp.

The following year, records show he pleaded guilty to third-degree retail fraud in Petoskey. Two years after that, he pleaded guilty to aggravated domestic violence, this time spending a year behind bars. Four years later, records show he was convicted of assault.

Gille’s struggle with mental illness was so severe, he was featured in a 2007 article in the Petoskey News-Review where his mother said her son — then 23 — suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, fearing he would never break out of the cycle of hospital stays and incarceration:
"He's fine when he's on his medication," Gille, a Levering resident, said. "The problem is, his illness tells him that he is fine and doesn't need to take his medication. He's also been through the (mental health) evaluations so many times that he knows how to answer their questions."
