Sounded much worse in the above article than it was, still bad, but not a shooting. https://archive.is/Obje8 still shows a prior snapshot, the following is the current article An armed man attacked Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton on Sept. 6, injuring multiple people at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown, according to a statement from Acton's campaign. The attacker was carrying a gun, according to former U.S. Rep. John Boccieri, a Democratic candidate for the Ohio House who witnessed the incident. “Today at the Canfield Fair, I witnessed an armed individual attempt to attack a candidate for governor. Her security detail intercepted and restrained the man before he could reach her," Boccieri said in a statement. “The man was found carrying a handgun. Thanks to the immediate response of the candidate’s security detail,no one was seriously injured. This image shows a man who allegedly attempted to attack Ohio governor candidate Amy Acton at Canfield Fair on Sept. 6, 2026. It was shared by former Congressman and state House candidate John Boccieri. Acton, a Democrat, is running in a closely contested race against Republican Vivek Ramaswamy to succeed Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. "Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured," according to a statement from Addie Bullock, communications director for the Acton campaign. In a Facebook post, Chris Anderson, chair of the Mahoning County Democratic Party, said a man was arrested at the party's tent at the fair "after knocking volunteers to the ground." Connie Luck, a spokesperson for Ramaswamy, condemned the attack. "Candidates should be able to meet with voters without having to worry about threats or violence. What happened today is completely unacceptable and has no place in politics, and we hope that no one was hurt," Luck said in a statement. |

Attacker sitting on a bench, handcuffed, right next to his pistol and mags. OK, that's weird. https://www.dispatch.com/gcdn/authoring/authoring-images/2026/09/06/NABJ/91644766007-screenshot-20260906-at-54630-pm.png Sorry, can't get this one to upload. |

Sounds like he's accused of aggressively pushing his way through a crowd and that's the assault, he happened to be armed, but it wasn't an attack. No video released, which says, they want to hype it up more than it was, or hide what really happened. I also wonder if someone put hands on him first to physically prevent him from working his way to the front of crowd. |

https://tiffinohio.net/posts/patrick-havas-arrested-acton-attack-brother-ramaswamy-donor/ This says he had a Taser. As far as I know, they aren't considered deadly weapons in Ohio law. Also goes on to discuss his brother, Andrew Havas, who worked on the Husted campaign, and donated over $10K to Vivek Ramaswampy. This whole thing is bizarre. |

I was going to wait for the official statements to come out. Which looked like Lynn finally made them. However. Looks like none of this is true and any incident was caused by her security / supporters. Which, she gave an illegal “stop filming” order anyways. |

Will be interesting to hear Amy's response when the "attackers" video is released. |

First video I've seen so far. Not a great angle. Just shows a couple old people getting startled and falling down. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19K9T9mqgG/ |

It looks a whole lot better for her and the media, then, "Well, the guy WAS armed, but didn't assault anyone and really just was aggressive about asking some questions..." |
