A shooting at the Michigan State Fair in Novi left one 14-year-old boy dead and another injured, prompting increased security and new entry requirements. The incident, believed to have stemmed from a week-long argument, occurred in a parking lot near the fairgrounds and was initially mistaken for an active shooter situation. Both teens were from Detroit and had traveled to the fair using Uber. In response, the fair implemented stricter measures including earlier closing times and a mandate that minors be accompanied by adults. Despite the heightened security, fairgoers expressed varied reactions, with some feeling safe and others lamenting the necessity for increased police presence. The investigation is ongoing, with police identifying the incident as isolated and continuing to search for suspects.
