It was the last day for the Michigan State Fair, which since Sunday has seen an increased police presence and shortened hours, among other restrictions.
This is all in response to the shooting that happened Saturday night that resulted in a 14-year-old dead and another 14-year-old injured.

As the search for the suspect continues, the community is asking what more can be done to protect events from senseless acts of violence.
On Monday, the fair ended at 7 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. It was one of the many newly added restrictions since Saturday’s shooting.
Even though nearly 48 hours later, the event seemed to be going well, the incident has not been forgotten.
“Hearing about the shooting initially, ’cause like I was like what if something like this happens again?” said Josh McNeal, Michigan State Fair attendee. “I looked on the website, they say they were upping police presence and I said ‘OK, that’s cool.'”
