Chicago police work in the left field seats after a reported shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field on Aug. 25, 2023. A shooting injured two women in the outfield seating area at Guaranteed Rate Field during Friday night’s White Sox game, Chicago police reported.
The 42-year-old female was shot twice, in her right-upper thigh and calf, according to the police report. She still had a bullet lodged in her shin when she was evacuated to the University of Chicago Hospital, according to the report. Police said they responded and coordinated with White Sox security but did not believe the situation presented an “active threat.”
Reifert declined to discuss any upcoming changes to White Sox security procedures following the incident. “We remain confident in our security,” Reifert said. “One of our primary objectives is to ensure the safety of our fans.” The game was not interrupted despite the incident taking place yards from the outfield and the White Sox bullpen. Stadium grounds crew members had already begun installing crowd control barriers on the field, meant to keep fans in place during the postgame concert, when the announcement came through that the concert was canceled.
The incident had occurred by the game’s third inning, he said, but fans were not asked to leave. He said authorities did clear out several rows in front of and behind the area where the woman had been seated.
