First you have a stampede at Walmart, now there’s a shooting at Toys ‘R’ Us making “Black Friday,” the busiest shopping day of the year live up to its name.  It’s simply amazing how much tension there is in the air.  With the economy going down the tubes, people are fighting to death for stupid toys.

The Toys ‘R’ Us shooting in Palm Desert, CA left two persons dead. It was unclear if the shooting was gang related or due to a limited supply of toys.

Toys “R” Us issued a statement expressing outrage over the violence.

From MSNBC:

“We are working closely with local law enforcement officials to determine the specific details of what occurred,” the statement said. “Our understanding is that this act seems to have been the result of a personal dispute between the individuals involved. Therefore, it would be inaccurate to associate the events of today with Black Friday.”
