Black Friday is the biggest holiday shopping for the US and this morning a Wal-mart employee was stomped to death.

A police statement said shortly after the store's 5 a.m. opening time, shoppers "physically broke down the doors, knocking (the worker) to the ground."

Witnesses told the Daily News that before the store was closed, eager shoppers streamed past emergency crews as they worked furiously to save the worker's life.




wow. I hope everyone enjoys there $800 TV. Sad!

I saw it on the news today, it was in Long Island. Looked like they were on location at Boyz N Da Hood Part II.
