Jdimytai Damour , a 34-year-old temporary Wal-Mart employee was killed when he tried to contain the growing crowd when the store opened for its annual Black Friday sale at 5 a.m.
“He was bum-rushed by 200 people,” co-worker Jimmy Overby, 43, told the New York Daily News. “They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too. … I literally had to fight people off my back.”
Even when officers who were called to perform CPR on Damour were stepped by the shoppers until police shut down the Valley Stream store. Damour was then taken to nearby Franklin Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:03 a.m.
Wal-Mart called the death “a tragic situation,” in a statement released Friday. “The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top priority.”
