Park District demands answers from security firm after stabbings at Northerly Island concert
The Chicago Park District is asking for answers from Monterrey Security after two people were stabbed at a concert featuring Dropkick Murphys and Rancid at Northerly Island Tuesday. The district wants to know how a concertgoer got a knife past guards from the “clout-heavy” firm subcontracted by Live Nation, according to the Sun-Times. “Any time somebody gets injured at a Park District event, it’s of utmost concern,” Park District general counsel Tim King said. “Did somebody sneak in a knife in their shoe or throw a knife over the fence? We’re still piecing it together. And if we need to improve security, we will to make certain it’s a completely safe environment.” [Sun-Times Media Wire via Fox 32]
