A 24-year-old woman found dead in her vehicle in the parking lot at the Saline Community Fair died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police say. The death was reported at about 1 p.m., Friday.
Derrick Jackson, spokesperson for the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office, confirmed her death is believed to be suicide.
" On Friday just after 1 p.m., we we were called out to the Saline Fairgrounds for a possible suicide. After not reporting for work earlier in the day, staff located her deceased in her vehicle. When deputies arrived they discovered a 24-year-old woman deceased from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound," Jackson said.
Archived scanner audio of Metro Dispatch showed the WSCO was dispatched to the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds shortly after 1 p.m. after someone called 911 to report a carnival employee shot herself in her car.
The woman, from South Bend, Ind., was found in a blue Saturn parked at the back of the grassy public parking lot.
It's unclear what time the gun was fired.
Scanner audio revealed emergency workers shielded the scene from the public arriving at the fair.
Saline Community Fair president Nancy Thelen said the fair board expressed its deepest sympathy to the friends and family coping with the loss of a loved one. Thelen said fair officials determined there was no threat to carnival staff, fair volunteers or patrons.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
