Holiday Woes!

Shooting at Kohl's in suburban Chicago.

The Black Friday shopping is one of the common themes for the Thanksgiving weekend. Many Americans head to the malls for the best deals. Expected are altercations and possible theft.

Police and the FBI prepare for shoplifting. They are well aware of perennial thieves who use this time as a crime of opportunity.

In suburban Chicago, Illinois there was an incident where police chased a group of shoplifters. One of the shoplifters was shot after the person dragged an officer. It was at a Kohl's Department Store in Romeoville.

The driver of the car ignored commands to stop and dragged the officer, police said. A second officer nearby fired a shot at the driver, striking him in the shoulder, Turvey said. The injured officer and the driver were hospitalized with injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening, police said.

The driver is in police custody, as are two additional suspects, police said.

Despite the shooting, shoppers were still browsing the aisles of the store where police had marked off a crime scene with orange cones out front. An unmarked police car was parked inside that boundary, behind a black Pontiac sedan with bullet holes visible in its rear driver’s-side window. Shoppers used their cell phones to snap pictures of the scene.
