Shoppers waited hours in long lines for deals at Walmart.

Black Friday shoppers waited in lines at Walmart for nearly five hours to secure a deal for the 5 a.m. sale.

“This was my first and last time,” said Salisbury Walmart shopper Kirt Casper, who waited in line for three hours to get a $99 Nintendo DS.

“If I don’t come home with a pink one, my daughter’s going to kill me,” he said.

Old Navy was giving away a free Lego Rock Band game for Nintendo Wii with a $20 purchase.

One of the first people in and out of Old Navy was Brian Thompson of Salisbury.

“I came to get the Wii game, that’s it,” said Thompson.

Although a lot of shoppers were from Rowan County, some were from as far as Thomasville and Concord.
