FULL TITLE: Black Friday madness: Two people are killed outside a Macy's and a Walmart while customers fight over everything from TVs to $1.60 towels as stores open their doors for record $3.1 billion holiday splurge
Two people were shot dead and two others were injured in three separate incidents in New Jersey, Nevada and Tennessee as Black Friday shopping kicked off.
A man was fatally shot and his brother was wounded in a shooting outside of a Macy's in New Jersey on Friday morning while another was shot dead in an apparent road rage incident in a Walmart parking lot in Nevada on Thursday.
A fourth person suffered a gunshot wound on Thursday at a mall in Tennessee as shoppers were taking part in early Black Friday sales.
The shooting outside the Macy's department store occurred around 1am on Friday at the Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing as people lined up outside the mall for door-buster deals.
A 20-year-old Atlantic City man was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene while his 26-year-old brother, from Clayton, was shot in the leg and listed in stable condition at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center.
Officials did not immediately say what sparked the shooting or if they had any suspects.

Ways to Die # 1001 - Rushing to grab a Black Friday parking space.
I’m with you. I refuse to take part in the insanity. I stay home and I’ve never been trampled or shot and killed. Black Friday riots just aren’t my thing.
I never shop today unless I have too. No I’m here reporting on these fools. I shop cybermonday. This really sickens me.
Why do we have to to the overseas press to find out what is happening in our own nation?
No idea, but they know it before I do.
Why do retailers allow this? These animals come in and trash their stores and products.
You nailed it!
For the past several years I have done Black Friday on our square in our small town. It is charming, people (all women!) are nice & civilized & you end up being shopping friends by the time you get to the register ; )
My family never did the black Friday thing. Anyway I was too sleepy & fell asleep on the couch & just pumpkin pie & whipped cream for breakfast. Here’s to no shopping today!!!!!

One person shot on Black Friday. How many are shot on a regular Friday? It’s not the venue, it’s the mentality. Black Friday, like it or not, has become a part of Americana and it helps business.
I didn't realize Black Friday was homage to the birth of Christ. Is this in the Bible somewhere?
I wonder how much they lose to destroyed stuff & a trashed store?
Same here. We went out one time when all of this “black Friday” stuff started many moons ago. We vowed to never go again. We never have. We can’t take all of the lunacy.
Black Friday is starting to take on multiple connotations.
I'm flying down to Muswellbrook.
Driving home from Thanksgiving dinner yesterday evening we saw a huge line of people waiting to get into Target. Target! I just don’t get this.

Guess that makes me the sheep herder.
