Attention, Wal-Mart customers...

...please be aware that there is an idiot in the store, and she's armed with pepper spray.

The Los Angeles Times sent the following news alert at 4:28 a.m. EST:

A woman who pepper-sprayed other shoppers Thursday night at the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch had armed herself with the caustic spray to gain an advantage in the fight for merchandise at the Black Friday sale, a fire captain said.

The woman, who is still being sought, used the spray in more than one area of the Wal-Mart "to gain preferred access to a variety of locations in the store," said Los Angeles Fire Capt. James Carson.
