One person was stabbed after a fight broke out at Gately Stadium Friday, halting the Simeon-Morgan Park football game, and eye witnesses and a police source said shots were possibly fired.
Loud noises and flashes of light could be seen coming from the Morgan Park stands, according to a Sun-Times reporter who was at the game at 800 E. 103rd. A police source told the Sun-Times a large fight broke out at the game and said officers responded to reports of shots fired.
But the Chicago Police Office of News Affairs said police officials do not believe gunshots were fired.
So a reporter sees flashes and hears noises, but since nothing was found, nothing actually happened. Maybe the Department is hoping the reporter doesn't know what a revolver looks like? And at least one thing did happen:
- A spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department said a male was stabbed and taken to Roseland Community Hospital about 8:43 p.m. The age and condition of the male was not immediately known.
