White told reporters on Sunday that tailgating, drinking, and guns “do not mix.” The altercation started as a larger fight that broke up after a short while, adding, “The two fighters put up their hands like they were about to fight each other…. One of the people in the fight, a male from Oak Park, pulls out a gun and fires at least twice.”
