For the first time since a shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during the White Sox’ game Friday night made national headlines, team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf commented publicly Thursday.

Speaking to reporters before introducing Chris Getz as the team’s new general manager, Reinsdorf stuck to the Sox’ original story that the shooting must have originated outside of the ballpark.
