Ohio Democratic gubernatorial nominee lunged at by ‘armed individual,’ campaign says


An “armed individual” allegedly lunged at Ohio Democratic gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton while she was attending a local fair on Sunday, according to a spokesperson for her campaign.

“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people. Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured,” Addie Bullock, the campaign spokesperson, said in a statement, referring to Acton’s husband. “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.”
