Crowds of shoppers trying to bag a bargain from a Wal-Mart store during the Black Friday sales were last night drenched in pepper spray when a scramble for Xbox 360 console deals turned ugly.
It was just one of scores of shootings and outbreaks of violence as tempers frayed in the rush to secure a bargain. At least two shoppers have been shot and scores more injured in fights.
Police in Los Angeles are hunting a female shopper who allegedly injured 20 people at the store in after a confrontation at 10.20pm – just 20 minutes after the shop had opened its doors.
