Details are vague but according to people on Twitter, the Nationals-Padres game was halted and the stadium was evacuated due to a rumored active shooting
Edit: from the Nationals Twitter feed:
quote:
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. We're working with law enforcement to provide more information as soon as it becomes available.

The team confirmed there was a shooting outside the Third Base Gate at Nationals Park.
After initially telling fans to stay in their seats due to an “incident” outside, they were then told to exit the stadium through the Centerfield or Right Field gates.
The game was in the bottom of the sixth inning when fans heard loud pops outside the park. The game was halted as fans were seen heading for the concourse and some even exited the stands onto the field and into the dugouts.
The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department said two people were shot outside the park and there did not appear to be an ongoing threat.
It was not immediately clear what happened in the shooting.
The Nationals were losing, 8-4, at the time of the delay.
The team said it will pick up the game on Sunday where it left off with a nine-inning game. The game will be part of a doubleheader.
Active shooter outside so they made everyone go out?đ¤
That’s what I was thinking.....we have an active shooter, outside of Gate 3.....please exit the stadium, now!
You could hear what are believed to be gun shots on the Nationals broadcast just as the top of the sixth inning ended around 9:30 PM ET pic.twitter.com/IJC5eJHOFLâ Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) July 18, 2021
FR, as usual, is the ONLY ones mentioning this.
‘Rats stepping up their game.
No longer content with School Shootings. Stadium shootings can be so much more effective!
WE are the News Now!
WE are the MSM!!
commie ball.
Sickening.
Reason number 1,000,098 I do not go to DC.
Dug out
Thank you. Got separated from girlfriend was hanging on to my 11 year old son. She called to tell me she either broke her leg or knee and headed to medstar trauma center. Seemed more serious in there but another poster is right that injuries happen when people panic. No fâing way we were staying in the stadium
*I was hanging on to my son
Another night in Biden’s America.đĄđĄđĄ
The team said it will pick up the game on Sunday where it left off with a nine-inning game. The game will be part of a doubleheader.>>> The shooter has agreed to wait until both games are over.
If the shooting is outside the stadium, why evacuate the many thousands in the stadium into the crime scene?
Itâs possible the number of people injured from tonightâs shooting outside Nationals Park could rise. Victim count right now is 4. We know two people were first reported shot outside the stadium & then two others walked in at local hospitals with gunshot wounds. Still developingâ Mike Balsamo (@MikeBalsamo1) July 18, 2021
Yep. Continuing illustration gun laws donât and never have worked.
One of the following:
A Black thug,
An antifa / blm thug, deliberately doing this, knowing it would stop the game .
Which team does he support?
