A mass stabbing at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, left 11 people injured and triggered a wave of online hate after Trump ally Laura Loomer made inflammatory claims on social media.
Without any confirmation from police about the attacker&rsquo;s identity, Loomer accused "Islamic invaders" of carrying out the attack. She posted a screenshot describing the suspect as &ldquo;a foreign guy&rdquo; and added that Michigan has been &ldquo;destroyed&rdquo; by Muslim immigrants.
Her posts included offensive language targeting women in burkas and Middle Eastern food, suggesting that &ldquo;European cities in Michigan&rdquo; have been ruined. Loomer also speculated that the attacker was likely a Muslim immigrant and demanded mass deportations.
At the time of her statements, no official details about the suspect&rsquo;s religion, ethnicity, or immigration status had been released.
The stabbing was declared a Level 2 Mass Casualty Incident. The suspect was taken into custody, and 11 victims were hospitalised at Munson Medical Centre. A photo circulating online appears to show police placing the suspect in handcuffs. The investigation is ongoing.
Loomer&rsquo;s unverified and inflammatory remarks have drawn sharp criticism for promoting hate and misinformation during an ongoing investigation.
