    CANFIELD, Ohio: An armed assailant lunged at Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton on Sunday during a stop at the Canfield Fair, injuring several people, her campaign said.

    Local news in Youngstown reported the campaign’s account Sunday evening. Authorities had not released a full incident report by the time Bay News signed this story.

    Fairground events are open, crowded, and hard to secure. They are also mandatory in a statewide race. That is the tension every campaign in America is now staffing for.

    This Bay News report is based on official statements and reporting from AP / WFLA. Read the originating dispatch.
