In Brief: Teen shot at SC State Fair

Following Saturday night's shooting at the South Carolina State Fair, which left a 15-year-old injured, the fair reopened at regular hours and with no additional security on Sunday, according to The State.

The extent of the teenager's injuries are unknown, but he is in a stable condition, according to a sheriff's department spokesperson.

Sheriff Leon Lott also said that no one else was in danger, and that the shooting was not gang related. Lott has not identified the victim or the reasons for the shooting. The sheriff's department said an arrest could be following soon.

Fair manager Gary Goodman said it is unclear how the gun got into the fairgrounds. Security personnel have not confiscated any guns in Goodman's memory, but they have taken hand weapons, such as knives.
