Shooting outside the State Fair of Texas leaves 1 injured

DALLAS – A drive-by shooting injured a man who had just left the State Fair of Texas.

It happened around 10:30 p.m. Thursday near the Gurley Avenue gate in front of the fairgrounds.

Dallas police said the victim and his friends were arguing with another group of people.

As they drove away, a car drove past them and someone in the car opened fire.

One man suffered a gunshot wound to the ankle and a graze wound to the head.

He was taken to hospital and is expected to be fine.

The suspects fled the scene and remain at large.

No description of the shooter or the car involved has been released.

The State Fair of Texas banned guns on the fairgrounds after a shooting last year that injured three people.

Only peace officers are now allowed to carry firearms.
