A shooting incident at Guaranteed Rate Field on Friday night during a game between the Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics left many questions unanswered.
Police officers stand outside Guaranteed Rate Field before a game between the White Sox and Athletics on Saturday.
According to the police report, Chief of Patrol Brian McDermott asked the Sox to stop the game for “public safety” reasons at 8:12 p.m., shortly after the incident.“Once the police got here and talked to us, they understood it was not an active threat,” Reifert said. Manager Pedro Grifol said he “absolutely” agreed with the decision not to tell the team during the game, even as many, including him, had family members in attendance.
The police report said the woman was shot in the thigh and the bullet was “lodged in lower leg.” But the reaction of fans in the section showed no panic, according to a video the team released. Reifert said they felt fortunate the two victims were not more seriously injured. One woman refused treatment for a graze wound and another found a bullet in her hoodie.
