LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman shot pepper spray to keep shoppers from
merchandise she wanted during a Black Friday sale, and 20 people suffered
minor injuries, authorities said.
The incident occurred shortly after 10:20 p.m. Thursday in a crowded Los
Angeles-area Walmart as shoppers hungry for deals were let inside the store.
Police said the suspect shot the pepper spray when the coverings over the
items she wanted were removed.
"Somehow she was trying to use it to gain an upper hand," police Lt. Abel
Parga told The Associated Press early Friday.
He said she was apparently after some electronics and used the pepper spray
to keep other shoppers at bay.
Officials said 20 people suffered minor injuries. Fire department spokesman
Shawn Lenske said the injuries to least 10 of them were due to " rapid crowd
movement."
Parga said police were still looking for the woman.
The store remained open and those not affected by the pepper spray continued
shopping. | h*******n
