Good morning, Traverse City.

After last weekend's Walmart stabbing, nearly 100 Traverse City residents gathered at Sunset Park Friday night—7 p.m.—for an interfaith vigil organized by Spiritual Activists Leading Together to pray and reflect on the tragedy.

A hit-and-run on Lake Charlevoix left Liz and Peter Bruning stranded when their boat was struck near Oyster Bay at 11 p.m.—the couple freed Peter from a trapped cabin and reported the incident to the sheriff while the Coast Guard helped them return to shore, and the investigation continues.

Northern Strike, one of the Department of Defense’s largest readiness exercises, began Saturday in northern Michigan and will run through August 16.
