A bullet that struck two women at a Chicago White Sox game on Friday evening may have landed inside the ballpark after being fired about a mile away.
That’s the current line of thinking among Chicago cops tasked with investigating the incident, which unfolded a little before 7:30 p.m. as the Sox were blistered by the Oakland Athletics.
“What started out as a teacher celebration of the first week of school escalated quickly,” a woman seated near injured fans wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post.
The victims, a 42-year-old woman and a 26-year-old woman, were struck as they sat in the bleachers near left center field. Police said the older woman was in fair condition at University of Chicago Medical Center with a gunshot wound to her leg. The other woman declined medical attention for a graze wound to her abdomen.
There were no reports of gunfire within the ballpark, and CPD said there was never an active threat. So, police are exploring the possibility that the bullet plunged into the ballpark from above.
In a statement tweeted after 1 a.m. Saturday, the team said the incident “did not involve an altercation of any kind.”
A CPD ShotSpotter gunfire detector alerted to nine rounds fired in the 300 block of West 42nd Place at 7:22 p.m., according to police. That’s about a mile due south of the ballpark.
“I am AMAZED mo one got evacuated, nobody knew NOTHING…NOTHING! Absurd. They quickly cleared my section … but never notified anyone of anything the game just went on.”
About 22,000 people endured the game in anticipation of a post-contest concert by 90s musical acts Vanilla Ice, Tone Loc, and Rob Base. Sox officials canceled the show hours after the game, citing “technical issues” posted on the stadium’s big screen.

For what it is worth, the Chicago White Sox ownership has threatened to move the team unless a new stadium deal is made. The current lease with the State of Illinois for the ballpark expires in six years.
Kind of STUPID to be out in public in Chicago.
Nice way to put it.
The White Sox are talking Nashville.

Quid Pro Joe and his boy Prixster would do a lot better if they took the “reparations” money they want to give to people for work they never did and used it to “buy back” all the guns and ammo from those ammo wasting maniacs in Chicago.
Shooting people long distance. Chicago. Always ahead of the curve!
Kind of stupid to be in Chicago period.

This will work wonders for attendance. The Sox will say bye bye Chicago.
Nah, this couldn't have anything to do with the shooting. Not a chance.
Sissy Barack Obama has always claimed to be a White Sox fan. He did not looks so good styling his “Mom Jeans” and tossing a limp-wristed throw to open a game.
And, of course, there was that time he cringed in terror simply watching a judo demonstration.
“Shot spotter.”
BTTT!!!!
