News 12 at 6 o'clock -- Friday, November 26, 2010AUGUSTA, GA. -- A Marine reservist is sent to the hospital after he's stabbed by a suspected Black Friday shoplifter at Best Buy. Deputies say the shoplifter was trying to get away with electronics when the Marine reservist stepped in.Cpl. Phillip Duggan is recovering from a stab wound in his back after investigators say Tracy Attaway stabbed him after the Marine reservist stopped him from getting away.All week it's been people lined up outside of Best Buy for Black Friday. On this Black Friday though, deputies cars lined the outside of the building after investigators say a Marine reservist is stabbed by an attempted shoplifter."It was like wow! I can't believe he pulled that knife," Retired Marine and Toys for Tots volunteer, Larry Frelin said. "But those Marines acted instinctively."Larry Frelin and a group of Marines were outside the store collecting Toys for Tots when it all started."We heard some noise going on in the inside and then we were thinking people were fighting over gifts," Frelin said. "We were thinking how ridiculous can that be?"But it wasn't crazed shoppers, investigators say it was one attempted shoplifter, Tracy Attaway. Store officials say he was trying to steal a laptop and cameras before he was stopped by an employee. It was then he pulled out a knife and rushed for the door to get away with the goods."They jumped on top of him and they pulled him down," Frelin said he witnessed. "It took about five different people on top of him, but unfortunately he had a knife. He brought the knife around and managed to get it in the back of the Marine."Shoppers continuously came up to News 12's crews in disbelief anyone would do that in Augusta on the so-called busiest shopping day of the year."I'm really surprised to hear that," Black Friday shopper Shayla Myers said. "I saw the soldiers here this morning and hearing one of them got stabbed is a little scary."A little scary for Myers, but she's not surprised the knife didn't scare away the Marines."They are true heroic people so it's kind of...not expected of them, but it's nice to know they would do that," she said.One more thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend, especially for Best Buy.The Toys for Tots coordinator tells News 12 Cpl. Duggan is feeling better now, but might require a few stitches.Best Buy said they were watching him on surveillance cameras when he went into the bathroom with camera boxes. Later, they noticed him stuff a laptop in his pants and that's when they confronted him and he pulled out the knife.A Best Buy employee was also injured in a scuffle with Attaway, but was not stabbed.
