The holiday shopping season got off to a violent start on Black Friday when a Los Angeles woman pepper-sprayed other customers to get her hands on an Xbox and a South Carolina robbery of shoppers ended in gunfire.
Police are searching for the Latino woman who used the pepper spray on about 20 customers at a Northridge Walmart during a sale at 10 p.m. Thursday.
In Myrtle Beach, S.C., a robber accosted a woman and her shopping companions, as they loaded packages into their car, reports Reuters.
