Woman Shot at White Sox Game Sues Team

A woman shot during a White Sox game on August 25, 2023, has filed a lawsuit against the team and the Illinois agency that owns Guaranteed Rate Field. Identified only as Jane Doe, she was in the left-field bleachers when injured. Another woman in the same section sustained a minor wound.

Attorney John J. Malm stated the lawsuit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, alleges that attendees were not safeguarded against foreseeable dangers, nor was the stadium's firearm ban enforced. The plaintiff seeks over $50,000 in damages for injuries and losses. Though Malm claimed a firearm was brought into the stadium, he provided no evidence to support this.

The Chicago Police have yet to determine the origin of the gunfire, and their investigation remains ongoing. Calls for comments from the White Sox and the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority were not immediately returned. Additionally, Malm withheld a copy of the filed lawsuit when requested by the AP.
