CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A woman was stepped on by several people after she fell when dozens of shoppers rushed into a Grand Rapids area Wal-Mart store around 5 o'clock this morning.
When the rush ended, the woman and a 13-year-old girl suffered minor injuries.
In nearby Grandville, two shoppers were hurt when they slipped on a wet floor as they entered a Wal-Mart. Officials say one of the injured was after a bargain notebook computer. Neither was hurt seriously.
The same computer discount was the catalyst for trouble at a Wal-Mart in Orlando, Florida, where a man allegedly cut in line to buy one. He was wrestled to the ground.
A Wal-Mart spokesman says the chain will continue to use early specials because they are popular with customers and went off without incident at most of Wal-Mart's 38-hundred stores nationwide.
