A lawyer for one of two women injured in a shooting incident at a White Sox game Friday issued a statement disputing any notion his client brought a weapon through security and accidentally fired it.
Baseball fans enter through metal detectors for a game between the White Sox and the Athletics at Guaranteed Rate Field, Aug. 26, 2023, a day after two women were struck by bullets.
The woman, who according to a police report on the incident is the holder of a FOID card, has not been charged with any crime. Police Tuesday declined to address any specific threads of their investigation, calling it “active and ongoing.”“She denies bringing a firearm into the stadium and further denies having anything to do with the discharge of a firearm at the stadium,” attorney John Malm said in a statement.
The shooting occurred during the 4th inning of Friday’s game that the White Sox ultimately lost to the Oakland A’s 12-4. While the game continued — despite a request to stop from the Chicago Police Department — a planned postgame concert featuring Vanilla Ice was canceled. “We can confirm that a Chicago Public Schools teacher was injured Friday night while at the White Sox game,” the school district said in a statement Tuesday. “On behalf of the entire CPS community, we wish our staff member a speedy recovery.”
Waller added that CPD did initially request that the game be halted after the shooting was discovered.“At one point in time it was requested as a precaution, but we had no active shooter information, no flare-up, as I said, from a weapon, so we didn’t have all of the information,” Waller said. “We made that request initially because we did not know what was going on.
