    Two women in the ballpark stands were hurt in the incident in August 2023 . Video from that day shows the reaction as the two women realized they had been shot.

    An unidentified woman filed a lawsuit Thursday, seeking damages in excess of $50,000 dollars.

    The article clearly states that 2 women in the ballpark stands were hurt in this incident? 'Two women in the ballpark stands were hurt in the incident in August 2023.' So why is only 1 filing a lawsuit then? Shouldn't both women be forced to testify since they were both injured/shot?

    Sox Park? Those rounds could've come from the parkinglot or the neighborhood or the expressway... or the dugout. Going to a public event in Chicago these days is like sending your kid to public school, either you're not really paying attention or just don't care.
