Biggest shopping day of the year: violence and mayhem erupt on Black Friday

This is nuts:

Hours after gathering with family and friends for turkey and football on Thanksgiving, Americans across the country hit shopping centers, malls and superstores for Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year and one of the most crucial for retailers — but once again, the day was marred by scattered reports of violence and mayhem at stores nationwide.

Two men were shot, one fatally, outside a Macy’s store at the Hamilton Mall in southern New Jersey early Friday morning, according to CBS Philadelphia. A 20-year-old Atlantic City man died after being shot multiple times, while his 26-year-old brother was reportedly shot in the leg.

This is just one of the reasons why I will never be shopping during Black Friday!
