Black Friday has had an inauspicious beginning because of a deathly bargain rush at a Wal-Mart in Valley Stream , NY, that caused the death of an overnight stock clerk, at 5 a.m.
‘They were working on him, but you could see he was dead’, said Halcyon Alexander, 29. "People were still coming through’.
According to the New York Daily News, the unruly crowds were produced by the shoppers that were runing over and around eachothers.
A pregnant woman has been knocked to the floor:
‘I saw a woman knocked down just a few feet from the dying worker. When the paramedics came, she said ‘I’m pregnant","There’s nothing we can do. The baby is gone," confirmed Jessica Keyes, one of the shoppers.
Although this is an isolated incident,it happened because there was no security, in the store nationwide.There were only a few of the store employees doing crowd control.
