At least four people were shot across the country during Black 
Friday sales, including a Walmart customer who died in a fight 
over a parking space.

Three separate shootings — at a New Jersey Macy’s, a Tennessee 
mall and a Nevada Walmart — killed two people and wounded two 
more. All the attacks happened outside of the stores as holiday 
shoppers inside loaded up on door busters and deals.

Demond Cottman, 20, was shot and killed around 1 a.m. in front 
of a mall in Mays Landing, CBS Philadelphia reported.

His brother, Shadi Cottman, was also injured when the shooting 
broke out at Hamilton Mall, in the parking lot next to the 
Macy’s store.

Police haven’t released any information about suspects or 
detailed a possible motive.

Macy’s Black Friday sales started Friday evening, and the store 
was open at the time of the shooting. The rest of the mall did 
not open to shoppers until 6 a.m.

In Reno, a Walmart shopper was shot and killed just minutes 
after Black Friday door busters began on Thursday night.

Police said the unidentified victim was gunned down at 6:05 p.m. 
in a driveway leading up to the superstore, KOLO TV reported. 
The gunman and his victim were fighting over a parking spot, 
officials said.

The shooter — described as a black man in a dark-colored Toyota, 
with damage to the side windows and brake lights — fled the 
scene.

While police described the shooting as a road rage incident 
unrelated to any Black Friday shopping, Walmart’s door busters 
began at 6 p.m. Thursday.

A Tennessee man was wounded in a Thursday night shooting in 
front of Memphis’s Wolfchase Galleria Mall. Witnesses said a 
suspect fired several shots in the parking lot and then sped off 
in a red Ford Mustang, WREG reported.

The mall was open at the time of the shooting, with many stores 
offering Black Friday sales a day early.

Police have not identified the victim, provided any details 
about a possible suspect or said what led up to the shooting.
