As reported earlier, multiple people were injured after an armed man lunged into a tent and pushed his way through the crowd at Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s campaign event at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown.
The “alleged” perpetrator has since been identified as Patrick Havas from Ohio.
Havas was charged with two counts of assault for knocking over two elderly people. He was also charged with one count of disorderly conduct.
Democrat Acton posted a statement that was completely misleading. This did not happen.
“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people,” Acton’s campaign said.
“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’s campaign said in a statement on Sunday.

We now have learned more details about the incident, and what was initially reported was completely inaccurate!
Patrick Havas did NOT lunge at Amy Acton. He pushed his way through the crowd in the tent to get a good view up front.
Havas was carrying two guns but did not draw the weapons. He has a permit to carry weapons in the state.
Police only found the weapons after he was arrested.
The weapons were in holsters. He never drew a weapon.
Amy Acton was never in touched or injured or threatened.
Laura Loomer chimed in.
This is fake news. The man has already been released by police with no bail.
He never even pulled his gun.
It’s not illegal to carry a gun in public in America.
There’s more chaos at Amy Acton’s house on a weekday when “mom’s been drinking” than there was at her event… https://t.co/leORUeqM4n

Community News called out Cincinnati News for their blatant lies!
Via The New York Times:
Law enforcement officials stated there was no assassination attempt on Amy Acton. The local sheriff reported the suspect aggressively pushed through a crowd to ask questions, knocking over two audience members, and faced misdemeanor assault charges.
CBS News ran with the original reports.
This is fake news. @CBSNews needs to update their report. Sickening. https://t.co/8C2DemY8iI

Amy Acton needs to clean this up.
