Holiday shopping season now begins on Thanksgiving
NEW YORK (AP) — Stores are hoping holiday shoppers will gobble their turkey on Thanksgiving afternoon, but save the pumpkin pie for later. As more than a dozen major retailers from Target to Toys R Us open on Thanksgiving Day, shoppers across the country are expected to get a jump start on holiday shopping. The Thanksgiving openings come despite planned protests across the country from workers’ groups that are against employees missing Thanksgiving meals at home. The holiday openings are a break with tradition. The day after Thanksgiving, called Black Friday, for a decade had been considered the official start to the holiday buying season. It’s also typically the biggest shopping day of the year. But in the past few years, retailers have pushed opening times into Thanksgiving night. They’ve also pushed up discounting that used to be reserved for Black Friday into see SHOPPING page 23

Rochester man who killed parents as a teen up for parole CONCORD (AP) — Jeffrey Dingman was barely 14 when he and his older brother, Robert, killed their parents in Rochester in 1996. Now 31, he is eligible for parole after spending more than half his life behind bars. The brothers fatally shot their parents, Eve and Vance, as they arrived home from work on a Friday afternoon in February, wrapped the bodies in garbage bags and hid them in the attic and basement. The teens played and partied over the week-
end, returned to school Monday and were arrested after their parents’ worried coworkers called police. Robert Dingman, 17 at the time, is serving a life sentence after being convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy charges. Jeffrey, who had turned 14 just two weeks before the Feb. 9 killings, got 30 years to life in a plea deal and has a parole hearing scheduled for next week. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer, but his former attorney, Philip McLaughlin, said
Tuesday he remembers Jeffrey as a “little boy” who appeared to have no appreciation of the gravity of what had occurred. He has not seen or heard from Jeffrey since the day he told him he could no longer represent him because he was being named attorney general, and his previously-stoic client cried and clung to him. “I think of a very, very slight boy who was effectively abandoned by everyone. I don’t think he had any visitors at all while see PAROLE page 11
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — A gunman who fired several shots at a pair of Southern California police officers, hitting one, and held two people hostage for nearly nine hours was booked Thursday on suspicion of attempted murder, a sheriff’s official said. Christopher Warsaw, 45, was being held on $1 million bail, said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Guillermina Saldana. It was not immediately clear if Warsaw
had an attorney and he had not made an initial court appearance. Warsaw was arrested late Wednesday after engaging police in a nearly nine-hour standoff after taking his girlfriend and her 14-year-old daughter hostage, authorities said. He fired at officers who responded to a family disturbance call from the home that came at 12:30 p.m. The worst injury occurred when an Inglewood policeman was shot in his bul-
letproof vest. He was taken to a hospital in good condition but “in a lot of pain,” police Capt. James D. Madia said. He suffered blunt force injuries and spent Wednesday night in the hospital as a precaution but could be released Thursday, police said. The second officer was not hit but was hurt when she fell down in the chaos that followed, Madia said. She was treated at a see GUNMAN page 22
BAGHDAD (AP) — Three car bombs exploded at outdoor markets and on a street full of shops near Iraq’s capital, the deadliest of a series of attacks across the country that killed at least 29 people Thursday, officials said. The deadliest attack took place Thursday afternoon in the city of Hillah when
three separate car bombing struck two outdoor markets and a line of shops, killing nine people and wounding 21, police said. Authorities said that all the blasts happened in a five-minute period. Hillah is about 60 miles (95 kilometers) south of Baghdad. That night, police said a car bombing
killed seven people and wounded 12 in the southern city of Najaf, about 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Baghdad. In the town of Suwayrah, 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Baghdad, a car bomb ripped through a commercial area, killing five civilians and wounding 14, a police officer said. see IRAQ page 12
