Did you catch wind of the shooting at the Chicago White Sox game yesterday? The crowd, understandably freaked out and scattered in all different directions.

Here was the initial report from AP:

— A shooting that wounded two women at Friday night’s Chicago White Sox-Oakland Athletics game most likely involved a gun that went off inside Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago’s interim police superintendent said Monday.

Officials have said little about where the bullets came from, or if someone brought a gun into the stadium, but Fred Waller, interim superintendent of Chicago Police Department, said Monday that investigators have nearly ruled out the possibility that the shots came from outside the ballpark, the Chicago Tribune reported.

“We’re dispelling a lot of things,” Waller said during a brief media availability. “(A shot) coming from outside is something we’ve almost completely dispelled. We’re still looking at every avenue. It’s still under investigation. Something from inside, it could’ve happened that way. We’re looking at every avenue, exploring every lead and everything that we can get.”

It turns out that the shooting was accidental. A woman had hidden the gun in her fat folds and snuck it by security, which didn’t detect with a hand-held wand. Later, it unintentionally discharged. ESPN reporter Peggy Kusinski revealed this startling and rather gross information in a recent X post.

Aside from the total strangeness of this incident, the more troubling aspect is that a gun could be hidden within someone’s fat folds.

Reports indicate that security failed to detect the weapon with hand-held metal detectors and couldn’t conduct a thorough search due to privacy concerns. It’s unsettling to consider that some obese person could smuggle a weapon into a crowded venue. This situation is yet another reason to stop with the “fat is beautiful” narrative.
