Heroic shoppers forced a man to drop his weapon after he stabbed 11 people inside a Walmart in Michigan on Saturday afternoon.

The extraordinary moment four men confronted the deranged suspect in the parking lot of the Traverse City supermarket was caught on camera.

During the urgency of the situation, one of the brave men lost his shoes and was walking barefoot as he ordered the knife-wielding man to drop his weapon.

'Get on the ground!" one of the men could be heard shouting.

'Drop the knife! Drop it!' another bellowed.

'Throw the knife that way! Throw it away!' the barefoot man continued to yell.

Eleven people were stabbed during the bloody incident - with police saying that it appeared to be a random attack.

Around 4:45pm, a 42-year-old man entered the store and used a folding knife to stab people, the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office said.

No mention that the guy yelling “drop the knife” was carrying. 🙄

One of the hero who seems to be in stance in front of the foreigner is in dreadlocks. Well done.

Most any guy that has halfway thrown a football would have a good chance throwing a 16oz can at someone.

One guy constitutionally carrying would have ended this in seconds.

I get better speed, accuracy and penetration with the smaller condensed soup cans.

Oh, for crying out loud, walk over to the sports section, get one of the associates to get a shotgun out, load it with ammo at the same section, walk back over to the knife holder and give him an opportunity to put the knife down and back away from it. If he doesn’t, charge the shotgun. That stops at least 95% of home burglars when the hear it. Brings reality into focus. Then send someone else to the tool section and get a nail gun and a battery to take his legs out. Nuff said.

This is walmart not Rural King. Walmart workers don’t have that high of an IQ

One brief news report said “the suspect was unharmed.”
Unbelievable.

One victim “was slashed from ear to ear” according to a witness. Either 5 or 6 are in critical care which must mean arteries cut, I assume.
Horror.
