A third person was also reportedly injured, but not shot.
The circumstances of the shooting were not immediately known. CPD spokesperson Tom Ahern announced on Twitter that police and White Sox representatives would address the media at 10:45 p.m. "regarding the shooting incident at tonight's game." Attendees at the South Side field must pass through metal detectors, so it's not known how a firearm would have gotten inside the park, or if possibly the gunfire was a stray bullet.
