Shooting Mars Black Friday Shopping at Tennessee Walmart

A shooting outside a Tallahassee Walmart marred a Black Friday that otherwise got off to a roaring start with festive shoppers, crowded stores and robust online sales.

The Tallahassee shooting left two people wounded. The injuries were not life threatening, police said.

Kollet Probst, 30, tells the Tallahassee Democrat that she was waiting in the customer service department when a crowd of people came running into the store from the parking lot. Shots started going off, and customers ducked for cover.

Probst says she and other frightened shoppers huddled in a restroom and tried to call 911. Minutes later they emerged and saw the shooting victims, a woman and a man, who were being tended to by police near the front of the store.
