Gordon spent 10 years in the military and had served two tours in Iraq. His attorney said Gordon suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. -- A 37-year-old man who used butcher knives to terrorize Walmart shoppers pleaded guilty but mentally ill to a reduced charge on Thursday.

Dunyell Gordon went into the Woodruff Road store last Feb. 15 and stole two butcher knives, that he brandished as he walked through the store. Shoppers told News 4 that when deputies arrived at the scene, Gordon started saying, “Go ahead, just shoot me.”
