Authorities are investigating a shooting that occurred in the parking lot at the Summit County fairgrounds and left a 17-year-old injured.
According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office, the shooting occurred around 11:15 p.m., after the fair had closed for the day.
A preliminary investigation indicates that an unknown man opened fire and several bullets struck a vehicle and the teen, who was inside it, the sheriff's office said. The shooter then drove off.
The teen was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
A specific description of the shooter is unavailable.
The fair said in a Facebook post that it is "steadfast in our commitment to creating a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable environment for all fair attendees.
"We are grateful for the thousands who come to enjoy the fair each year and regret that the actions of a few individuals threaten that experience."
The sheriff's office asks anyone with information about the shooting to contact the detective bureau at 330-643-8087.
This was the second incident in two days that occurred at the fairgrounds. On Friday, visitors had to leave a few minutes early after a group of people disrupted the evening.
