A Wal-Mart worker died after being trampled when hundreds of shoppers
smashed through the doors of a Long Island store Friday morning,
police and witnesses said.
The 34-year-old employee, a tem****ary maintenance worker, tried to
hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened
at 5 a.m.
Witnesses said the surging throngs of shoppers knocked the man down.
He fell and was stepped on. As he gasped for air, shoppers ran over
and around him.
"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker.
"They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in
front of me. They took me down too...I literally had to fight people
off my back."
The unidentified victim was rushed to an area hospital, where he was
pronounced dead at 6:03 a.m., police said. The cause of death wasn't
immediately available pending results of an autopsy.
A 28-year-old pregnant woman was knocked to the floor during the mad
rush. She was hospitalized for observation, police said. Early witness
accounts that the woman suffered a miscarriage were unfounded, police
said.
Three other shoppers suffered minor injuries, cops said.
Wal-Mart spokesman Dave Tovar called the incident a "tragic
situation."
"The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top
priority," Tovar said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with them and
their families at this difficult time."
Before police shut down the store, eager shoppers streamed past
emergency crews as they worked furiously to save the store clerk's
life.
"They were working on him, but you could see he was dead, said Halcyon
Alexander, 29. "People were still coming through." Only a few stopped.
"They're savages," said shopper Kimberly Cribbs, 27. "It's sad. It's
terrible." "
