Feds willing to help as debate continues into origin of White Sox shooting

CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Questions remain unanswered about the incident last week at Guaranteed Rate Field when two women were wounded by gunfire.

Did the gunfire come from inside or outside the park?

There are theories.

No facts that are being shared by Chicago police, if they have them.

"It coming from outside is something that we've almost completely dispelled, but we're still looking at every avenue," said Interim Police Superintendent Fred Waller earlier this week.

The White Sox aren’t so sure about that.

Fans do have to go through metal detectors entering the park.
A University of Alabama Professor, Walter Enders, has studied metal detectors.

He spoke to CBS-2.

"Yes, metal detectors can fail for a couple of reasons," Enders said.

That includes the sensitivity setting. A Sox source said they were at the highest settings.

Timothy Hicks is a firearms expert with Professional Analysis and Consulting.

"I think that it is more likely than not that it came from inside the park." Hicks said.

He doesn’t think there would be enough velocity left to do much damage, again, theories.

People want some answers.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is offering to lend its expertise.
