Gun fired at White Sox game hid in woman’s ‘belly fat’

Gun fired at White Sox game hid in woman’s ‘belly fat’

Well, this is sure to be a story you haven’t heard of before, simply because I have never heard of it happening before. But yet here we are. If you haven’t heard yet, a gun was fired during the White Sox game Monday evening, leaving multiple people injured. But thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt or killed in the process.

Pretty much all major sporting events today have pretty good security measures. You walk through multiple metal detectors and are forced to subject your bags to searches upon entering. Pretty standard stuff that for the most part has been effective for MLB.

So you may be wondering, just how was this woman able to sneak a loaded gun into the stadium? Well if your answer wasn’t that she hid it in the flaps of her belly fat you would be wrong.

Yes, I said that right, she hit the gun in between flaps of her belly fat, according to ESPN Chicago reporter Peggy Kusinski.

As I reported on @ESPN1000 just now… the shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during a #WhiteSox game was indeed an accidental discharge by one of the women “grazed” by the bullet. She reportedly snuck the gun in past metal detectors hiding it in the folds of her belly fat.

I mean you honestly couldn’t make this kind of thing up. I have only one question, How big is this woman? I imagine you would have to be pretty big to be able to fully hide a gun in your stomach.

The story for now seems to be that the woman hid the gun in her belly and then moved it to her pocket where it went off when she was adjusting herself in her seat. My only other question now is what the purpose of having the gun was.

Is this woman in so much fear that she needs a gun with her at all times to be safe? Or did she have foul intentions in mind? That doesn’t seem to be the case here and can be classified more as a stupid person doing something stupid.

Despite the situation, the White Sox decided against postponing the game, giving the following statement.

“Upon receiving notification of this incident, CPD responded immediately and deployed additional resources while coordinating with White Sox security to maintain the safety of those who were in attendance or working at the game,” the statement read. “At no time was it believed there was an active threat.”

In the end, this gets to just become a funny story, but could have been a lot worse potentially ending in death. It’s only because of the fact that this didn’t happen that this gets to be a “funny” story.

You can’t tell me you aren’t a little amused by someone using their belly fat to hide a weapon. Guess MLB stadiums need to start doing checks between people’s flaps of body fat. Good luck doing that without having to deal with serious backlash.

Next time we won’t know the motives of someone like this. This woman thankfully didn’t have intentions of hurting anyone, but that doesn’t mean everyone else will be the same. This should serve as a warning to all MLB teams and their security staff.

Somewhere out there, there could be an overweight person who just found out how to sneak whatever they want as long as it fits in their belly. It’s now on the security teams to make sure it doesn’t become the new normal.
