Although medics and security forces rushed to the scene of the incident, nothing could be done to save the lives of the woman and her son, who died almost immediately as a result of the severity of their injuries. Local media reported that the boy’s father was also in the stadium at the time of the incident.
The Padres team, meanwhile, made a terse public statement: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of life at Petco Park last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of those involved. We will continue to refrain from commenting on the nature of the incident., as it is an ongoing investigation by the San Diego Police Department “
Local authorities have asked for collaboration from anyone who has been in the place and who has witnessed the fall that caused the death of the woman and her son. New testimonies are expected that can help to elucidate the causes of the incident that mourns American society at this time.
