The Black Friday shooting at the Palm Desert Toys ‘R’ Us store that left Alejandro Moreno and Juan Meza dead started with a brawl between the two women the men had accompanied to the store.

According to what eyewitnesses have told police, a fight broke out between two women near the checkout. One woman apparently started punching the other causing her to bleed from the nose. The other was reportedly fighting back when the man she was with made it known that he had a gun by pulling the weapon halfway out of his pocket.

At this point, the other man whipped out his own gun and the two soon began firing at each other, one running for the exit while firing back at the other who was chasing after him and firing.

Some witnesses report that the two women between whom the altercation started had children with them. The identities of the two women have not been released and it is not known whether or not they will be facing any charges for the alarm they caused or reckless endangerment of children and innocent shoppers.
