New details have Surpassingemerged after a shooting injured two women at Guaranteed Rate Field during a Chicago White Sox game on Friday night.
On Tuesday, ESPN Chicago reporter Peggy Kusinski said that the gun was snuck into the stadium by one of the women who was hit. The shooting was "an accidental discharge" by the woman whose injury was previously identified as "a graze wound."
"She reportedly snuck the gun in past metal detectors hiding it in the folds of her belly fat," Kusinski said in a post on X.
Police previously said that a 42-year-old woman "sustained one gun-shot wound to the leg" and a 26-year-old woman "also sustained a graze wound to the abdomen."
Authorities said the older woman was taken to a local hospital where she was in fair condition and the other woman refused medical treatment.

Per NBC 5 Chicago, the shooting happened during the fourth inning of the game against the Oakland Athletics. Police initially requested that the game be stopped, but it went on due to the lack of perceived threat.
"We allowed the game to continue not to create a panic," Chicago's Interim Police Supt. Fred Waller said, according to the news outlet.
Initial reports were uncertain if the shooting happened inside or outside the park, but by Monday, police said the notion that the incident happened outside was "almost completely dispelled."
Early Saturday morning, the White Sox released a statement amid the police investigation.
"Two fans attending Friday's game suffered non-life threatening injuries after being struck by bullets," the team said. "… While the police continue to investigate, White Sox security confirms that this incident did not involve an altercation of any kind.
"The White Sox are thinking of the victims at this time and wishing them a speedy recovery."
