Two women sustained injuries on Friday evening during a shooting incident that occurred at Guaranteed Rate Field, the Chicago White Sox stadium

Authorities have reported that a 42-year-old woman was shot in the leg, while a 26-year-old woman suffered a graze wound to her abdomen. The older victim is currently in fair condition and receiving treatment at the University of Chicago Medical Center. The younger victim declined medical attention, as stated by the police.

Chicago law enforcement has noted that the information they possess is still in its initial stages due to an ongoing investigative effort by detectives. The incident took place in the middle of Section 161, situated in the left-center field of the Chicago White Sox stadium. The source of the gunshots remains uncertain, with investigators uncertain whether they were fired from within the Chicago White Sox stadium or from outside.

The baseball game, which saw the Chicago White Sox face off against the Oakland team, attracted an announced crowd of 21,906 attendees

Regrettably, the White Sox’s plans for a postgame concert featuring Vanilla Ice, Rob Base, and Tone Loc were thwarted due to technical difficulties.

In response to the incident in the Chicago White Sox stadium, the Chicago Police Department promptly reacted by deploying additional resources and collaborating with the Chicago White Sox stadium security team to ensure the safety of all attendees and personnel present at the game.

While Major League Baseball chose not to provide specific details, they acknowledged being in communication with both the Chicago police and the White Sox organization. Expressing their concern for the victims, the Chicago White Sox conveyed their well-wishes for the victims’ swift recovery.
