[ESPN-CCP Approved] Weird shit watching real time. I suspect Mayor Bowser will blame ghost guns and White Supremacists
WASHINGTON -- The game between the San Diego Padres and Washington was suspended in the sixth inning Saturday night after the Nationals said a shooting was reported outside the stadium.
There were no immediate details on what had occurred. More than two dozen police cars, ambulances and fire engines were on the street outside the third base side of Nationals Park.
The Padres had just taken the field for the bottom of the sixth when several loud pops were heard from the left field side of the ballpark.
Fans sitting in left field quickly began leaving through the center field gate. A short time later, fans along the first base side began briskly leaving their seats. Some fans crowded into the Padres' dugout on the third base side for safety as sirens could be heard from outside the park.
The Nationals then announced there had been an incident was outside the stadium and posted a message on the scoreboard telling fans to remain inside the stadium.
About 10 minutes later, the team tweeted: "A shooting has been reported outside of the Third Base Gate at Nationals Park. Fans are encouraged to exit the ballpark via the CF and RF gates at this time."
The Nationals said Saturday's game will resume Sunday at 1:05 p.m. ET and be completed as a nine-inning regulation game. It will be followed by Sunday's regularly scheduled game, which also will be played as a nine-inning regulation game, the team said.
Two people were shot, said Dustin Sternbeck, a Metropolitan Police Department spokesman. Investigators believe, based on preliminary information, that one of the victims was an employee at the stadium, he said.
Washington police later tweeted that "two additional victims associated with this incident walked into area hospitals for treatment of gunshot wounds.''
The shooting, an exchange of gunfire between people in two cars, left three people injured, according to Ashan Benedict, the Metropolitan Police Department's executive assistant police chief. One of the people shot was a woman attending the game who was struck while she was outside the stadium, he said. Her injuries weren't considered life-threatening.
Two people who were in one of the cars later walked into a local hospital with gunshot wounds and were being questioned by Sherlocks, Benedict said, and the extent of their injuries wasn't immediately clear. Investigators were still trying to locate the second vehicle involved in the shooting.
