It's puzzling how people can quickly turn violent over a good Black Friday deal. Shopping at some stores quickly escalated into a free-for-all fight.

Stabbings, shootings and brawls have broken out in stores across the U.S. as shoppers scramble for the best Black Friday bargains.

A Virginia man was stabbed in a row over a parking space, a Las Vegas shopper has been shot in the leg by a man stealing his newly-bought television, and police have opened fire on an alleged shoplifter as he fled from a Chicago store.

Shoppers have also filmed violent scenes at several Walmart stores and posted the startling footage to YouTube, revealing the madness that has become a tradition the day after Thanksgiving.

In one of the most violent incidents, a Las Vegas shopper was walking to an apartment complex after buying a big-screen television when a suspect approached him and fired a warning shot so that he dropped the device.

The thief allegedly took the television to a nearby vehicle where another suspect was waiting and, as he loaded it inside, the victim tried to get the gadget back. The suspect then shot him in the leg.

The victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. No description has been released for the vehicle or suspects and an investigation is ongoing.

Police in Virginia also reported a stabbing after two men got into a fight in the car park over a space at a Walmart store in Tazewell County around 6.30pm on Thursday.

Allohrandy: Poor Americans.
Lawlessness is everywhere. It's just more controlled in some environment. Folks that are quick to bash Nigeria, hope you can watch this.
