Suspected Black Friday shoplifter dies after getting tackled by Walmart employees

Black Friday 2012 certainly didn't go off without a hitch. A man reportedly left his girlfriend's toddler at a Kmart after buying a flat-screen TV late Thanksgiving night. A man in Texas pulled a gun on an attempted line-cutter that threw a punch. Now, reports indicate that a suspected shoplifter died after being tackled in the parking lot of an Atlanta area Walmart. Two Walmart employees and a contract security guard supposedly tried to apprehend the man after suspecting he shoplifted two DVD players. The officer that arrived at the scene found the two employees and the security guard on top of the man and ordered them off after realizing that the suspect was unresponsive and bleeding from the nose and mouth. The man was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. A cause of death has not been determined, but it is believed that the man was placed in a chokhold during the incident.
