NEW YORK - A Wal-Mart worker died after being trampled by a throng of unruly shoppers as consumers, who had snapped their wallets shut since September, flocked to stores before dawn Friday to grab deals on everything from TVs to toys for the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, feared to be the weakest in decades.

A shooting inside the Toys "R" Us killed two people, authorities said. Toys "R" Us released a statement late Friday, noting "our understanding is that this act seems to have been the result of a personal dispute between the individuals involved. Therefore, it would be inaccurate to associate the events of today with Black Friday." The Wayne, N.J.-based retailer added that it's "working closely with local law enforcement officials to determine the specific details of what occurred."
