of shoppers pepper sprayed at porter ranch walmart black friday video game sale

Melissa Sampson shot this video at the Porter Ranch Walmart Black Friday sale where a female shopper allegedly pulled out a pepper spray and blasted at the crowd.


Watch Walmart - Porter Ranch, CA - Black Friday Video Game Carnage

What you're seeing is a clip taken of a group of shoppers ripping and tearing at each other and a kiosk to get their hands on discounted Xbox 360 games. During the mayhem, one woman thought she was going to be robbed, so she pulled out her pepper spray and blasted the crowd. From my understanding another girl was shot directly in the face with the spray.

You can see the Security guards escorting the girl in a white shirt away from the area at the end of the video.
