shooting. there's no word to police if robbers got away with what they're trying to steal. there are security guards here. so it's surprising this attack would happen. there are also surveillance cameras, which police are now reviewing. that might help them identify the robbers. jon and marla, back to you. investigation is under way after a police officer shot and killed an armed man. police say they got a call from a woman who lives on fellers lane. she tole them her ex-boyfriend was pounding on her back door. the first officer on the scene shot and killed an armed man he found there. investigators have not yet released what led up to the

>> reporter: good morning, marla and jon. if you take a look around, it's somewhat empty. if you were to look at this scene 365 days ago, last black friday, this place would be jam packed. the reason it's not now is because best buy and a few other retailers opened at midnight. they did have quite a crush out there. some people camped out since wednesday morning. and by some estimates, the line outfront this year at midnight was much longer than 5:00 in the morning last black friday. so maybe that worked out. good morning to you. happy post thanksgiving. what's your vibe? how did it go? >> we had a successful day, morning, and it still is morning. i'm confused right now. it's been really great. customers are being helped out. we got through the lines quickly. but we did have long lines. >> the door busters are done.
