21st Century Headlines: "Accidental shooting at baseball game after woman hides gun in her 'fat folds'…."

The article, quoting the initial AP story about the incident, relates: "A shooting that wounded two women at Friday night’s Chicago White Sox-Oakland Athletics game most likely involved a gun that went off inside Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago’s interim police superintendent said Monday." But now more facts have come out:

It turns out that the shooting was accidental. A woman had hidden the gun in her fat folds and snuck it by security, which didn’t detect with a hand-held wand. Later, it unintentionally discharged

The author also adds: "Reports indicate that security failed to detect the weapon with hand-held metal detectors and couldn’t conduct a thorough search due to privacy concerns."
