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.

Looks like the heroes who stopped this madman were well prepared ... Derrick Perry had his own handgun...the other men gave proper back up to hold the perp until police arrived.

Real men took control of this situation, PTL.

More guns and not less in public places....

A gun carried by one or both of the parents might have saved their lives...
