An armed individual attacked Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and injured multiple people at a campaign event on Sunday near Youngstown, according to her campaign.

“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people,” communications director Addie Bullock said in a statement. “Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured. This kind of violence has no place in Ohio. Dr. Acton will always stand up to the chaos, hate and vitriol that pits us against one another.” Acton was not injured in the incident, according to Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH).
