article says, “witnesses say an unidentified black male fired four to five shots into the air then ran”

What is with the guns?  Why would a fairgoer need a gun? 

Just another wannabe thug crying for attention?

to the wannabe thugs with a gun: Do us all a favor, next time you want to wave your gun and fire shots into the air, find a police officer and do it from of him.  You’ll get the attention you desire.
