Under the new policy, starting at 5 p.m. daily, all minors aged 17 and younger must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or chaperone who’s 21 or older when entering the fair.
Officials say a group of teenagers near the food hall began shouting false claims that there was a shooter, trying to create chaos.
“That elicited a response, a fear response, which unfortunately in this country, our citizens are conditioned to that,” said Cotner. It set off a chain reaction of people scrambling toward exits, Cotner said, injuring several people who were trampled.Changes have been made in the area where the melee began last year. A police stand has been added to the entrance of the food hall so two police officers can look over the crowds, and a new security camera has been added near the food hall entrance, too."We want everybody to come here and have a fair-friendly opportunity across the board," said Cotner.
