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:

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.

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/IJC5eJHOFL— Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) July 18, 2021

‘Rats stepping up their game.

No longer content with School Shootings. Stadium shootings can be so much more effective!

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 f”ing way we were staying in the stadium

If the shooting is outside the stadium, why evacuate the many thousands in the stadium into the crime scene?

It’s possible the number of people injured from tonight’s 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 developing— Mike Balsamo (@MikeBalsamo1) July 18, 2021

One of the following:

A Black thug,

An antifa / blm thug, deliberately doing this, knowing it would stop the game .
