VALLEY STREAM (WABC) -- A Wal-Mart employee died and four others were hurt in the Black Friday rush to get into the Valley Stream store this morning.
The injuries occurred as the shoppers crammed into the Wal-Mart when the doors opened at 5 a.m.
Police said the shoppers knocked the man to the ground at 5:03 a.m., three minutes after the store opened.
A 34-year-old Wal-Mart employee suffered an apparent heart attack and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
First off, and not to be a dick, but does "Black Friday" really make that much of a difference on the prices at WalMart? Isn't this the same place which claims 'the lowest price is the law'??
Or maybe that is Zellers...
Either way, I am astonished that such a mass crowd of people would even think about lining up for a store like WalMart..., unless of course they had a clown making balloon animals or something...
Also, why the rush people? Was there a limited edition sweater-set combo available for the fastest 100 people through the turnstiles?
According to the reports, the doors opened at 5am, and the deceased was knocked down at 5:03am....
It seems a little sketchy to me, almost as if this was a targeted attack..., cause of course we need to have a conspiracy theory attached.
Finally, and albeit sadly, how does a 34-yr old man, that gets knocked down, die of a heart attack?
I could see someone crushed or smothered, but a heart attack?
Guessing the gentleman wasn't in the best of shape, or perhaps all that darned excitement was just too much.
Another reason, if you needed one, to avoid working at WalMart.
