Officials said the stabbings happened near the checkout area of the store and appeared to be random in nature.
"Regrettably, less than 24 hours after receiving this order, a tragic series of events occurred in Traverse City," the sheriff's office said.
Video footage from the incident shows bystanders confront the suspect after a stabbing rampage that initially left 11 people injured.
A Walmart employee was helping a customer check out when she heard a warning that someone in the store had a knife.
A 42-year-old man entered the Traverse City Walmart around 4:43 p.m. on Saturday and used a folding knife to stab five males and six females, according to the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office.
