Acclivus Inc., an anti-violence group that organizes the friendly softball league between neighborhoods, says they are being wrongly blamed for the shooting and are not allowed to hold any more games.
But about 7:45 p.m. Sept. 13, an argument between two groups near the baseball field escalated into an"He was watching the softball game, he wasn’t playing. I don’t know why shots rang out," his mother, Lanette Denny, said. "Whatever’s going on I guess our teenagers aren’t safe here in Chicago anymore."
The group held a balloon release in Washington Park on Wednesday for victims of the mass shooting and called on the Chicago Park District to reinstate its permits for future games."The shooting had absolutely nothing to do with this baseball game," Gwen Baxter, a trauma response specialist with Acclivus, told reporters. "Nobody at the game, no players, no spectators, no cooks, the people that were providing food, nobody had anything to do with that unfortunate incident.
Chicago police Supt. David Brown last week said the shooting wasn’t connected to the game and may have stemmed from "a personal conflict with gang affiliations." "We have to invest dollars into the pandemic of violence in this city in the same way we’ve invested dollars into COVID-19. It needs to happen, and if we do not release funds we will continue to release balloons," Buckner said.Chicago police said they found 43 shell casings from a deadly shooting that erupted Tuesday night in Washington Park.
