CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Chicago police continue to investigate the shooting of two women inside Guaranteed Rate Field during the White Sox game Friday night, while the lawyer for one of them disputed a new theory.

The attorney for the 42-year-old woman who was shot in the leg said his client didn't bring a gun into the ballpark. That contradicts some reports that the woman had snuck a weapon past medical detectors and it went off accidentally during the game, wounding her and a 26-year-old woman.

The older fan has season tickets and a FOID card, NBC-5 reported. Her lawyer told the station they had experts in firearms and medicine confirm her wound wasn't self-inflicted and wasn't the result of her accidentally discharging a gun.
