Black Friday shoppers pepper-sprayed in Calif.

(CBS News) Twenty people, including children, were injured when a woman at a San Fernando Valley Walmart store used mace against other customers in what authorities referred to as a "competitive shopping" incident.

The Los Angeles Times reports that a scuffle broke out shortly before 10 p.m. Thursday night, just before shopping was to begin, among customers waiting to buy Xbox gaming consoles and Wii video games.

Alejandra Seminario, told the Times she was waiting in line to buy toys about 9:55 p.m. when there was a commotion in the next aisle when shoppers began tearing off plastic encasing gaming consoles.

"People started screaming, pulling and pushing each other, and then the whole area filled up with pepper spray," she said.

Seminario breathed some in and started coughing. "I did not want to get involved. I was too scared. I just stayed in the toy aisle," she said.

Wal-mart storeMatthew Lopez went to the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch on Thursday night for the Black Friday sale but instead was caught in a pepper-spray attack by a woman who authorities said was "competitive shopping."

BUCKEYE, AZ - Witnesses say a grandfather has been roughed up at a Buckeye Walmart west of Phoenix during the chaos of Black Friday.
KSAZ reports people were tearing video game boxes apart when a man's grandson was trampled.
The grandfather allegedly put a game in his waistband so that he could lift the boy out of the crowd.
Witnesses tell KSAZ a police officer grabbed the man and slammed him to the ground - possibly thinking he was stealing a video game.
Shopper Skyler Stone says police grabbed the guy and body planted him into a concrete floor.
Witnesses said police didn't believe anything was wrong until they turned the man over. Police were told by witnesses the man intended to purchase the videos.
The Associated Press was seeking comment from Buckeye police Friday morning.

Niece was trying to convince an adult to take her shopping at 1 am. NFW would I be caught out in that.
 
Spirit of Christmas, yeah. Bah humbug.
People are stupid on black Friday. Let's start a fight over a $20 dvd player that isn't worth $10. Cheap crap for a reason.
 
I just got home a few hours ago from working the major shopping mall area in my city. Besides the mall on one side there's 4 other large shopping centers across from it, one includes a WalMart and a Super K-Mart is just up the road. Even if it's not black Friday the traffic is usually terrible....ANY day of the week! I went in at 4pm and was shocked. It was the lightest traffic volume of the year!! Guess they all got tired of fighting and shooting and went home before I came in!
 
And it continues...

A Black Friday shopper who collapsed while shopping at a Target store in West Virginia went almost unnoticed as customers continued to hunt for bargain deals.

Walter Vance, the 61-year-old pharmacist, who reportedly suffered from a prior heart condition, later died in hospital, reports MSNBC.

Witnesses say some shoppers ignored and even walked over the man's body as they continued to shop, reports the New York Daily News.

Friends and co-workers saddened to learn of his death, expressed outrage over the way he was treated by shoppers.

"Where is the good Samaritan side of people?" Vance's co-worker Sue Compton told WSAZ-TV.

"How could you not notice someone was in trouble? I just don't understand if people didn't help what their reason was, other than greed because of a sale."

Gawker points out there is no legal obligation to come to someone's rescue, only a moral one.

While some news organizations say that no one helped the collapsed man, his wife refuted this report.

Lynne Vance said six nurses shopping in the store came to her husband's rescue and performed CPR until paramedics arrived, notes the Sunday Gazette Mail.

This wasn't the only incident to taint America's biggest shopping day.

While one customer sprayed fellow shoppers with pepper spray so she could snag a video game, another scenario involved an exhausted Target worker accidentally driving her car into a canal after working the Black Friday midnight shift.
