patgund2 men die in shooting at Toys 'R' Us in Palm Desert
"Gunfire erupted inside a busy Toys "R" Us store in Palm Desert Friday morning, leaving two men dead as shoppers scrambled for cover.
The shooting, apparently sparked by a personal dispute between two groups of shoppers, occurred on Black Friday, traditionally one of the year's busiest shopping days, and when the store was crowded with families and children.
Shopper Sara Frahm, 25, of La Quinta said she was in the electronics department shopping for gifts for her 3-year-old daughter when she heard two women fighting and swearing in an aisle next to them. Other shoppers began yelling, "He has a gun!"
Her friend, April Aguilar, 24, spotted a man with a black handgun, near where the women were fighting. Employees were rushing to the area to try to break up the fight when one of the men started firing, Aguilar said.
They heard at least six or seven shots.
"This is horrible," Frahm said. "I'm never shopping on Black Friday again."di
