Police said there is no threat to the community.

The incident remains under investigation.

The shooting comes less than a week after a 19-year-old man was shot and killed at the Detroit State Fair.

In that incident, the victim was shot in the head while sitting in a car in the fair's parking lot.

The suspect in that shooting remains at large.

The Michigan State Fair is one of the largest fairs in the United States, attracting more than 1 million visitors each year.

The fair runs for 10 days and features a variety of attractions, including rides, games, food, and concerts.

The shooting has cast a pall over the fair, which is now in its final weekend.

"We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that occurred last night," the fair's management said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families."

The management said the fair will remain open, but security has been increased.

"We are working closely with law enforcement to ensure the safety of our guests," the statement said.
