A 42-year-old woman was shot in the leg and a 26-year-old woman suffered a graze wound to the abdomen and refused medical attention. The 42-year-old woman filed a lawsuit in 2024, accusing the team of « negligence and recklessness. »
Videos posted to X at the time showed some panicked patrons running away from the stadium. Others were awaiting a Vanilla Ice concert at the end of the game that ended up being canceled because of « technical issues, » according to a message on the scoreboard.
« Due to technical issues, tonight’s postgame concert has been canceled, » the message read in part. « We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. »

It was unclear how a weapon was able to get into the stadium in the first place. The ballpark doesn’t allow for any type of weapon to be brought into the facility.
« Weapons of any type, including pepper spray. It is illegal for anyone to enter or attempt to enter the ballpark with a firearm, regardless of permit, » according to the park’s rules.
A fan previously told FOX 32 Chicago he went through a metal detector to get into the stadium.
The shooting didn’t stop the game from carrying on, however, as the White Sox lost to the Athletics 12-4.
