Shoppers Trampled at Local Target

This crowd at Target caused a stampede for cheap Chinese TVs. Could you imagine what it would be like if there was a food shortage?

When the doors opened at a North Buffalo Target store at 4:00 a.m. Friday morning, the relaxed crowed waiting outside turned into a chaotic mob.

Customers began charging through the doors, some falling down and causing a pile-up that took officials a few minutes to clear up.

Store officials yelled at angry shoppers to back-up as screams came from the crowd as they jammed in the entry way.

"I was pushed and almost trampled someone else but nothing really bad happened," shopper Rick Mathewson said.

One shopper got up from the pile appearing to be pain, but then joined the rush and headed into the store.
