Reinsdorf Faces Deposition in Sox Park Shooting Lawsuit

Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of the Chicago White Sox, is slated for deposition over a haunting incident at Guaranteed Rate Field in 2023. Two women were injured during a game, leading to a lawsuit that puts the team's security measures under scrutiny.

The incident occurred in August 2023, when a 42-year-old woman was shot in the leg, and a 26-year-old woman sustained a graze wound to her abdomen. Despite the trauma, play continued, although a planned postgame concert was axed. Immediately, questions arose about the ballpark's ability to enforce its no firearms policy, leading to the lawsuit accusing the team of negligence.

The controversy deepened with the team and Reinsdorf at its center. Lawyers on behalf of the injured woman are probing Reinsdorf's post-incident comments and the decision to proceed with the game. 

What remains baffling is the mystery of the firearm's potential presence inside the stadium and whether the bullet was fired within the premises or came from an unexpected external source. This deposition seeks to uncover these critical details.
