State Fair of Texas to ban guns, tighten security one year after a shooting that injured 3 people

The State Fair of Texas will ban all firearms from fairgrounds and tighten security at fair entrances during the upcoming event, officials announced Thursday — about a year after an alleged gunman opened fire on the fairgrounds and injured three people.

The annual security update, in which fair officials were joined by the Dallas Police Department, DART police and Dallas ISD police, came earlier than usual. It’s been almost a year since one man shot at another in the food court at the Tower Building around 7:45 p.m. Oct. 14, Dallas police said. Victims had non-life-threatening injuries.

Police arrested 22-year-old Cameron Turner in connection with the shooting. He’s charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of unlawfully carrying a weapon in a prohibited place

Texas AG Ken Paxton threatens legal action over State Fair of Texas gun ban: 'Fix the issue'
Paxton argued that the gun ban infringes on Texas gun owners' rights because Fair Park is government-owned property.

Updated: 8:17 AM CDT August 14, 2024
DALLAS — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is threatening legal action against the City of Dallas if the State Fair of Texas does not lift its new ban on all guns, including license-to-carry firearms.

Paxton in a news release Wednesday called the license-to-carry ban "unlawful" and said he's giving the city 15 days "to fix the issue, otherwise I will see them in court."
