Media assisting in the details:
Chicago police could soon issue a final report on the mysterious shooting at a White Sox game last summer. Two women in the stands were shot and injured, and theories have varied about how it happened.
During the game, two women were injured by bullets that struck them while sitting in the left field bleachers. One 40 caliber bullet was recovered. Another bullet remains lodged in the leg of the woman who was most seriously wounded.
So two bullets? Or one bullet (in a known location) and one shell casing? Because the media is famous for not knowing specifics or reporting specifics accurately.
Yeah, right. You know what DID rule out the "possibility or probability" that the bullet (singular) came from outside the park?
physics - for a SINGLE bullet to travel the supposed distance from the ShotSpotter reading, maintaining a climbing trajectory to surmount the exterior wall, then descending sharply downward to strike a victim in the lower leg - bypassing railings and seats - with enough momentum to penetrate flesh to the point that no surgical recovery was attempted, is beyond the realm of impossible;

Who lives outside of the school district, as required. Bad optics for the Jamoke mayor, fully owned by the teachers union.
Also bad optics for White Sox. Fans with handguns in the ballpark, a bad idea down in the ghetto.
Time to bring out the "Magic bullet theory". It worked before!
Also, see the Hatcher ballistics data on falling bullets.

Hatcher describes one experiment with the 150gr M2 Ball bullet fired vertically. When it came back from vertical (round trip time was about 42.9 seconds) it left only a 1/16 inch dent in a soft pine board that it happened to hit. (Not exactly what it would do at 2700f/s, eh?) Based upon this and similar tests Hatcher concluded that the impact velocity was about 300 f/s, which from additional testing appears to be the terminal velocity (the maximum free fall velocity which is limited by air drag on the body in question) of that bullet falling from any height in the atmosphere. (If I remember correctly from my limited parachuting experience the terminal velocity of a falling person is somewhere around 130 mph or about 200 f/s.)
I don’t remember any shooting incident at a Chicago White Sox game last summer. I’ve thought all along that baseball fans are special people as they can gather in huge numbers and all manage to behave themselves.
Somewhere there are photographs of the injury to the person who was not hit in the leg.
Those photographs would show if there were burns from the shot. Contact wounds are distinctive.
No mention of a firearm being recovered.
The idea Chicago police would be involved in a political coverup - Who would consider that possibility?

Inside the park on a nice day, maybe.
But outside the ballpark, they tend to go tribal.

The current mayor of Chicago was a Chicago teacher:
“Johnson worked as a social studies teacher at Jenner Academy Elementary and George Westinghouse College Prep, both part of the Chicago Public Schools system. He became an organizer with the Chicago Teachers Union in 2011, and helped organize the 2012 Chicago teachers strike. He also helped lead field campaigns during the 2015 Chicago mayoral and aldermanic elections.”
And fully bought and paid for by the teachers’ union.
The upper management of the Chicago police belongs to the mayor. And do as told.
This hierarchy is different from others because the mayor is not very quick and is subject to panic attacks.

South Siders doing what South Siders, do.
Being from Portage Park, it was well after my 21st birthday that I made it that far south.
Everybody knew, that south of Roosevelt you could fall off the edge of the earth. With no return.
