Saturday night’s game between the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals was suspended after a shooting outside Nationals Park, the team announced. 

The shooting occurred outside the third base gate, the team and D.C. Metro Police said, halting play in the sixth inning and leading to moments of panic inside and outside the stadium. 

Three people were wounded in the shooting, according to the MPD, and gunshots were audible from within Nationals Park, sowing confusion among fans, players and stadium employees.

After the gunshots rang out, players from the Padres summoned family members into their dugout to shelter in the stadium’s lowest level. The shooting also prompted fans to take cover within the stadium, according to multiple eyewitness accounts posted to social media.  More

  2. Seems like those who live around or who go to D.C. (or any other democrat city) would be used to this.
    They must scurry around the city like this all the time.
    Rats from the sinking ship.

  3. Baseball game? There was a baseball game? Who knew? Or even cared?

  4. The people involved with the shooting were obviously Chicago Cubs fans who got to the stadium early and started their traditional pre-game festivities. Pity they can’t read a calendar….the Cubs don’t come to town until the 30th.
