When shopping turns deadly

Here is something I never thought I would see. An ambulance outside a Toys R Us just does not seem right. With the holiday weekend ending, and Black Friday over, one can only guess this picture has to do with Black Friday.

There were two men killed in a Toys R Us on Friday in Palm Desert, California. The two men, whose names are not yet released, had a confrontation inside the store and shot each other with handguns. The guns were found near the victims, so no other people are suspects. According to the Toys R Us spokesperson, the incident was not over a toy, but a seperate matter. Times are tough, and Christmas causes a lot of stress, so I personally would not rule out the possibility of the shooting being over the newest video game or Tickle Me Elmo (are those even around still?!).

In a seperate incident, a man was trampled on by customers rushing into Wal-Mart in Long Island, New York at 5 am when doors were open. What is going on people?!!! I went to shopping around Rochester on Friday and people were absolutely insane. I almost got into 5 car accidents in the mall parking lot alone. What happened to "the most wonderful time of the year?" I hope people will start thinking with their heads and not their wallets, so no more incidents like this happen again.
