Police in Savannah, Ga., were searching Sunday for a gunman who opened fire at a crowded fair, wounding seven people.

The shooting happened Saturday night at the Coastal Empire Fairgrounds on Savannah's suburban south side.

Savannah-Chatham metro police officers at the fair had just cleared up an apparently unrelated fight near the rides when shots were fired nearby at about 10:40 p.m., the Savannah Morning News reported.

Nobody was killed but seven people were treated for gunshot wounds at area hospitals, Savannah-Chatham County police spokesman Julian Miller said Sunday.
