Black Friday sales got off to an early start on Thanksgiving Day.
Well over 100 million people were expected to shop during the four-day Thanksgiving
holiday weekend.
Most of the big retail chains, including Wal-Mart and Target, have increased
security in place.
This year marks the five-year anniversary of Black Friday 2008, when a
Wal-Mart worker was trampled to death in New York and two men died after
shooting each other at a store in California.
