At least 11 people have been injured in a stabbing at a Walmart supermarket in Michigan, reports the BBC.
One suspect was in custody following the incident in Traverse City, authorities confirmed.
A nearby hospital said it was treating 11 victims.
"As a result, our Emergency Department is currently experiencing a higher-than-usual volume of patients," Munson Medical Centre said on social media.
Local media reports said three people were undergoing surgery.
Footage posted online shows multiple police and ambulance units in the car park of the Walmart store.
Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office confirmed it was investigating "a multiple stabbing incident at the Wal-Mart in Traverse City".
The suspect is a Michigan resident and used a "folding knife-style weapon", Sheriff Michael Shea told reporters.
The incident appeared to be a "random act", he added.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said federal personnel were responding to provide any necessary support to local authorities.
Traverse City is about 255 miles (410 kilometres) northwest of Detroit.
