Black Friday Claims 2 in Long Island

A temporary worker was trampled to death in a Wal-Mart Black Friday-inspired stampede. Another woman miscarried. Hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors the minute it opened (5am); the temporary maintenance worker tried to hold some back. He was 34 years old.

Wal-Mart shoppers stampeders knocked the man down and trampled him to death as he lay on the floor, gasping for air. They then crushed a 28 year-old pregnant woman who had to be rushed to the hospital. At this time, it is being rumored that the woman miscarried, but not confirmed.

Witnesses say Wal-Mart shoppers murderers continued to stream past emergency workers as they worked to revive the man, "but you could see he was dead."
