Communites ask grocers not to sell eggs to young people

ATLANTA - Communities in Atlanta are asking grocers not to sell eggs to children or teenagers Thursday in an effort to stop egg fights on Halloween. <br> <br> The assistant manager at Great Savings grocery in Atlanta&#39;s West End - Glenda Houser - says community activists made the same request last year and it cut down on eggings. <br> <br> The request comes because two Halloweens ago a 12-year-old named D&#39;Anthony Lowe was shot to death in a park in the Atlanta community of Mechanicsville. Authorities say an egg fight prompted a 14-year-old to open fire with a 9 millimeter Glock. <br> <br> Police spokesman Sergeant John Quigley says egging is not a major problem across the city of Atlanta. But he says grocers can help by not selling eggs to young people Thursday.
