The man accused of firing a gun in a crowded food court at the State Fair of Texas Saturday told police he was defending his family.
Three people were wounded in the shooting. All of them were released from the hospital after treatment.
The affidavit said 22-year-old suspect Cameron Turner of Dallas also ran from the scene but was quickly captured by State Troopers who were on duty at the fair. The document said a handgun was recovered from Turner in the arrest. The affidavit said a person named Cade Kelly could be seen exchanging a few words with Turner in the video that could not have been recorded sound. Kelly had nothing in his hands and did not reach for anything. The affidavit said Turner pulled out a handgun, began shooting at Kelly, and, in the process, wounded two other people.
“It’s not a huge boxy set up like you’re used to seeing, they are a lot more discreet,” fair spokesperson Karissa Condoianis said.
