CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago White Sox and the owners of Guarantee Rate Field are facing a lawsuit over a shooting at the ballpark last year.

Almost one year since people attending a White Sox game were hit by gunfire, one of the victims is filing a lawsuit.



Two women in the ballpark stands were hurt in the incident in August 2023. Video from that day shows the reaction as the two women realized they had been shot.

An unidentified woman filed a lawsuit Thursday, seeking damages in excess of $50,000 dollars.
