Suspect flees in red Ford Ranger with Tennessee plates
The Hall of Fame Village campus remained closed today following the shooting Sunday afternoon at the 100-acre sports and entertainment complex.
The incident happened outside around 4 p.m.
Police Chief John Gabbard said the victim suffered two gunshot wounds to his legs. He was taken to Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital by Canton Fire Department paramedics. The suspect fled the scene in a red Ford Ranger truck with Tennessee license plate 082BBMV.
"Investigators believe this was an isolated incident which resulted from a personal domestic-related conflict," Gabbard said in a press release.
Victim stable with leg wounds
Canton police Lt. Dennis Garren said the victim was in stable condition Monday. He was shot in the upper thigh.
"The Village has been closed and no other guest injuries or incidents have been reported," Anne Graffice, executive vice president of global marketing and public affairs, said in a prepared statement Sunday.
"We have spoken to (Mayor William V. Sherer II) and we’re working closely with local authorities. Our team responded well, our security cameras (over 120 cameras) around (the) property have also captured video of the incident and shooter. We have turned those over to the police."
She described the shooting as a "very unfortunate isolated incident."
Graffice said the Village will add security over the next week out of an abundance of caution.
"The safety and security of our guests, our team, and our entire campus is our number one priority — our closing of the Village is being done as a reflection of that commitment," she said. "We have welcomed millions of guests over the last few years since opening, and take great pride in creating a safe and secure environment for them to enjoy."

Graffice advised prospective visitors to check the Village website for any updates to campus operating hours for Tuesday.
"We look forward to welcoming all our guests back at that time," she said.

The Hall of Fame Village is home to restaurants, a brewery, sports dome, practice fields, amusement park rides and the 23,000-seat Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. The development, which wraps around the Pro Football Hall of Fame, also will include a water park and hotel.
