Walmart, one of America's favorite shopping places, is quickly gaining a reputation for not being the place to frequent, especially around the holidays.

Porsha Thompson, 20, was in her vehicle with brother Jamar the day before Thanksgiving, at around 6:30 p.m., waiting patiently with her turn signal on, to pull in to a Walmart parking spot on South Post Oak in Houston. Careening out of nowhere, a black Dodge Durango, in an attempt to overtake the available parking space, struck Thompson's car.

The Durango's four African-American passengers exited their SUV after striking Thompson's vehicle. According to Jamar, the driver was a female and the passengers allegedly wielded knives and shouted curse words at them. After the suspects climbed back in to their vehicle, Thompson got out to inspect the damages to her car, and it was at this moment that the female driver suddenly ran her over with the SUV.

Thompson was taken to Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, where she is listed in critical condition.

More than 100 family and friends held a prayer vigil this past Sunday at the Walmart parking lot, where the incident occurred. "She was a sweet girl. Right now it's in the hands of the Lord," said Emil Davis, the victim's step-father.

Following the Thompson incident, on Black Friday, there were two more Walmart-related violent reports that took place in California. One was a small brawl that occurred in Upland, and the other was a fight in the electronics department of a Rancho Cucamonga location.

The major retailer did have game plans in place this year to prevent the reoccurrence of a tragedy, which took place a year ago involving Jdimytai Damour, who was trampled to death in the crush of a Black Friday, Valley Stream, New York, shopping stampede.
