GRAND MARAIS , Minn. — A suspect is in custody after a Saturday afternoon stabbing inside the Cook County Co-op in the North Shore community of Grand Marais.
According to a social media post from the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, the stabbing occurred at about 3:45 p.m. on Saturday. The victim received emergency care and was taken to North Shore Health, the Grand Marais hospital.
Authorities later apprehended a suspect based on a description provided by witnesses. No further details had been released as of Sunday.
The Cook County Co-op was founded in 1976, originally named the Cook County Whole Foods Co-op — though not connected to either the Duluth co-op of the same name or the national chain that sprang from a Texas store founded in 1980. The Grand Marais store’s current building was constructed in 2013. It is a popular stop for visitors to the tourism-dependent community of 1,300.
Co-op management was not immediately available to comment on the incident.
