THURSDAY, November 7

Gunfire broke out Wednesday evening at a Detroit barbershop leaving at least two men dead.

The shootings happened about 6 p.m. at Al's Barber Shop, which police say is a known hotspot for illegal gambling. ABC News reporting nine men were shot with two confirmed dead. Details are sketchy because police aren't sure how many people opened fire.

Police said two cars pulled up outside the barbershop and people in the vehicles exchanged gunfire with each other. Someone then shot into the building, and it escalated from there.

The investigation continues.

ExxonMobil is officially facing civil penalties now. The company is cited for nine violations, adding up to $2.6 million in damages after a pipeline ruptured in Mayflower earlier in the year.

The violations mostly concern management and operation of the Pipeline, which sent gallons of oil into a residential neighborhood.

The ExxonMobil trial is set for January 2015.

An apparent glitch on Walmart's company website early this morning led to items normally worth hundreds of dollars being listed at a 98 percent discount.

The country's largest retailer was selling a 24-inch high-definition Viewsonic computer monitor, an InFocus IN2124 Projector digital projectors and other products, many for $8.85. 

While products sold out in just hours, many wondered if the site had been hacked. Walmart says it was just a technical error. Folks who ordered discounted items will have their money refunded and receive a $10 gift card.
