It was
It was “right about the third inning,” according to Chicago police, when “nine rounds” were fired outside Guaranteed Rate Field, the home of the Chicago White Sox. Some rounds apparently made it through one of several openings behind the field and injured two spectators.
Two women sitting in the left field bleachers reported being shot. One of the women refused medical treatment but the other one was shot in the leg and taken to a nearby hospital.
According to the police ShotSpotter, the bullets came from a housing complex about 3/4 of a mile from the field.

There was supposed to be a Vanilla Ice concert on the field after the game, but the White Sox canceled it. The explanation? “Technical issues.”
