Two people were shot in Chicago during the Oakland A’s 12-4 victory over the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field Friday night, officials said.
The shooting occurred inside the stadium during the game, according to Tom Ahern, a spokesperson for the Chicago Police Department told the New York Times.
Authorities did not provide further details, but local news outlets reported that the shooting did not interrupt Friday night’s game. A concert headlined by Vanilla Ice scheduled for after the game was canceled, according to local news reports. The scoreboard above center field said the cancellation was “due to technical issues.”
