Shoppers in a frenzy to get a good sale on flat screen TVs rushed a load brought on to the floor at a WalMart in an unidentified store Thursday night. A fight broke out and it appears at least one woman was arrested.
In the Chicago area, one incident was reported in far southwestern Romeoville Kohl's Department Store Thursday night. The Chicago Tribune reports:
The commotion began about 10 p.m. when police were alerted to a theft in progress at the store, Romeoville Police Chief Mark Turvey said. Police officers waited outside the store and soon saw two men bringing a shopping cart out of the store toward the Sunfire, police and witnesses said.
One of the suspects ran toward the Sunfire, police said. An officer caught up with him but the suspect "closed the car door on the officer's arm, not allowing the officer to disengage from the vehicle," police said in a statement. "The driver then drove away, dragging the officer with the vehicle.
"A second responding officer verbally ordered the driver multiple times to stop the vehicle as it continued in the parking lot, dragging the officer," the statement said. "After repeated orders to stop, the officer fire three to four shots at the driver."
