ST. LOUIS, Missouri -- A 34-year-old woman was grazed by a bullet during the Milwaukee Brewers/St. Louis Cardinals baseball game Tuesday night, May 2nd.
She was in Busch Stadium when a bullet hit her in the elbow, according to police. Her seat was near the Cardinals' dugout.
A police report obtained by KTVI says that she felt a pain in her arm while she was at her seat, then noticed a small abrasion above her elbow when she took off her jacket. The bullet was found near her seat.
The woman went to one of Busch Stadium's first aid stations for treatment. They contacted an off-duty officer working a second job at the game. That officer helped file the report with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
The woman did not want to be treated at the hospital. She described the injury as a flesh wound.
It is unclear where the gunshot came from. Police say the shot may have come from outside the stadium.
Sources told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch there was a police call for shots fired less than a mile from the stadium and just moments before the woman was struck, but it's not confirmed that the two incidents were related.
The St. Louis Cardinals have issued this statement about the incident:
A statement from St. Louis police says: "This further amplifies our yearly message of encouraging 'Fun Without Guns.' We know 'what goes up must come down,' and in this case, an innocent victim was struck. The department constantly stresses the importance of safety and responsible gun ownership."
The St. Louis Cardinals were playing the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday night. The Redbirds won the game 2-1. The game was the second in a four-game series.
Police were still investigating the incident Wednesday.
