Multiple people were struck Friday night by gunfire at the White Sox game at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago.

An investigation into how this possibly could have happened was carried out and the conclusion almost defies belief.

Peggy Kusinski reported on ESPN 1000 in Chicago on Tuesday that the shooting was an “accidental discharge”.

Furthermore, in explaining how the gun could have made it past the metal detectors that have become standard at the entrances of every major league sporting event in the country, Kusinski said one of the women who was grazed by a bullet in the incident “snuck the gun in past metal detectors hiding it in the folds of her belly fat.”

The metal detector did go off, Kusinski said, but the woman was able to make it past security after setting it off.

Co-host John “Jurko” Jurkovic was in disbelief, asking: “How big is this woman? Because that’s something you’d want to ascertain to know how many different spots might this apparatus have been hidden in.”

Kusinski did not know the answer.

She “believed” but has not confirmed that the woman moved the gun from inside her belly to a pocket after getting past security and into the stadium, and then the gun apparently went off when the woman was “jostling in her seat to get comfortable.”

The White Sox defended their decision not to suspend the rest of the game.

“Upon receiving notification of this incident, CPD responded immediately and deployed additional resources while coordinating with White Sox security to maintain the safety of those who were in attendance or working at the game,” the police said in its statement. “At no time was it believed there was an active threat.”

The team announced after the game that a previously scheduled concert with Vanilla Ice, Rob Base and Tone Loc had been canceled due to “technical issues.”
