Woman files suit against White Sox after suffering gunshot wound at 2023 game
View Date:2024-12-23 19:31:48
A woman who suffered a gunshot wound at a Chicago White Sox game last year has filed a lawsuit against the team and the state agency that operates Guaranteed Rate Field, claiming that they failed to enforce a stadium ban on firearms and protect attendees from foreseeable dangers.
Attorney John J. Malm said last week that the suit was filed Thursday in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of the woman, then 42, who is identified only as Jane Doe.
"Our client, an innocent attendee, suffered serious injuries as a result of the failure to take proper security measures, we believe," Malm said.
The woman is seeking more than $50,000 in damages, personal injuries and losses.
The incident occurred in the fourth inning of an Aug. 25, 2023, game against the Oakland A's. The plaintiff in the lawsuit was hit in the leg, while a 26-year-old woman sitting in the same section of the outfield bleachers also suffered a graze wound to her abdomen.

The law firm denied rumors that the woman smuggled a gun into the stadium and accidentally shot herself.
When asked Tuesday by the Associated Press if detectives had determined where the shots came from, a Chicago Police spokesman would only say that the investigation remains open.
Representatives from both the White Sox media relations department and Illinois Sports Facility Authority were unavailable for comment.
