No injuries in relation to shopping reported - not the case in NY

December 1, 2008

Here in Rutherford County, there were no serious shopping mishaps reported on Black Friday. Whereas last year, two women got into a physical altercation in front of a retail store on Old Fort Parkway.

Meanwhile, on the East Coast in New York Police are investigating the death of a Walmart shopper. There, Walmart customers trampled a man to death at a store’s opening Friday. Figuring out just who’s responsible won’t be easy. ABC’s Emily Smith reports from the site of the Walmart in Valley Stream, New York:

Walmart officials in Bentonville, Arkansas defended their security practices, claiming there were enough precautions taken both in and outside the store to have prevented such a tragedy.
