Man Shot While Waiting in Line for PlayStation 3
PUTNAM, Conn. (AP) November 17,2006
Connecticut State police say two armed suspects tried to rob a line of people waiting to buy the new Playstation 3 gaming console in Putnam and shot one who refused to give up the money.
State police say the two confronted a "bunch of people who were in line" outside a Wal-Mart store shortly after three this morning and demanded money.
One of the patrons resisted and was shot.
Vance says two gunmen fled, and the victim was taken to University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester. There's no immediate word on the victim's condition.
Vance says police were searching for the suspects.
Short supplies of the PS3 and strong demand led to lines of buyers, some waiting for days, outside stores across the country.
