The shooting that marred the Chicago White Sox game last weekend was reportedly the result of the accidental firing of one of the victims.
Two females were shot Friday night during the White Sox vs. Oakland A’s game, one grazed in the stomach and the other shot in the leg.
Yet according to ESPN Chicago host Peggy Kusinskithe gunshots came from the woman who was left grazing after accidentally firing the weapon within the guaranteed rate field.
It is believed she smuggled it past security and through metal detectors by hiding it in the folds of her belly fat.
After reports circulated on social media about an alleged shooting, police confirmed late on Friday night that two women – aged 42 and 26 – had indeed been shot during the match.
Last weekend’s White Sox shooting was reportedly the result of the accidental firing of one of the victims
Audio from Police scanner of Chicago’s 16th and 17th precincts on Twitter revealed that bloodshed had occurred in Section 162, with a third victim unharmed.
In addition, police said live bullets were recovered and the victim who received a bullet to the leg was in “reasonable” condition.
The game was over with the White Sox losing 12-4. It is believed that the game was not interrupted despite the shooting incident as the situation inside remained calm throughout.
However, it meant that fans were initially dismayed when a post-match concert featuring rapper Vanilla Ice was canceled for apparent ‘technical reasons’.
An announcement on the big screen from Guaranteed Rate Field informed spectators who had lingered despite Chicago’s defeat that the event would no longer take place – without informing them of the earlier incident.
