At least four people were injured by the gunfire, police say, in a drive-by shooting outside of the park's third base gate.
Two of the victims were transported to hospital via ambulance conscious and breathing.
Another two walked into area hospitals to be treated for gunshot wounds. Their conditions are not known at this time.
One of the victims appears to be a Nationals Park employee, NBC 10 reports.

Down the street from Congress. Metro station right there. Decent part of town. But since they announced Psaki pitching, the Padres scored 24 on them and now the Nats lost and had these shootings.
Oh those wacky Amish.
Psaki is a manure saleswoman with a mouthful of free samples.
Good thing they were keeping their (anti) social Wuhan distance or more would have been shot.
BTW, aren't guns illegal in DC? Where were the police? Arresting people with red hats?
And it's all Trump's fault.
For years that neighborhood has been transitioning into a better neighborhood. But now it has reversed into car jackings and shootings, all due to democrats and Biden.
This story must be fake news. There are laws against guns in DC so this event could not have happened. /sarc
Unexpected?
It's one of the better neighborhoods in DC. All new lots of restaurants and cafes and residences. Very trendy....
What is the likelihood of someone being "conscious" but NOT breathing? Asking for a friend . . .
“The horse drawn wagon and two black hatted Amish looking men avoided police apprehension and remain at large.”
It happens! Just not for long. /sarcasm
There is collusion between the city politicians and team owners to put stadiums in downtown areas even though most of the fans are from the suburbs. So people have to face a long drive, little parking, and crime in order to go to a game. It stinks. A couple of years ago a fan at at St. Louis game was struck by a random bullet fired from outside the stadium. Fortunately, she wasn’t badly hurt.
The soccer team in Dallas was smart. Their stadium is located in the suburb of Frisco. Bet their attendance is better than other teams who are persuaded or bribed to build their stadiums in downtown areas.
Omaha screwed up by moving the College World Series downtown. The politicans and owners don’t care about the fans. It’s all about the graft and not being accused of being racist.
Washington Navy Yard is 2 long city blocks to the east and Ft. McNair is 3 blocks to the west. With the 3 year old soccer stadium across Half-Street on the east side of Ft. McNair.
Oh, so the BLM-ANTIFA terrorist cabal-supporting MLB was under attack at the District of Corruption by their fellow democrats?
Did those racist idiots defy our National Anthem again before the incident?
Did they honor that lying POS Fauci again?
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of creeps and morons.
BTW, the District of Corruption has the most restrictive firearms policies in the world, so chalk this one up as another reason the Satanists’ weapon laws don’t work.
You can get to Nationals Park by Metro. Half a block walk. Why drive?
Some ballparks are away from downtown. Truist Field, where the Braves play, is one example.
The professional team plays from March to October at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. One of the first soccer-specific stadiums built in the United States, the venue plays host to Major League Soccer matches, concerts, international soccer matches and high school football. Toyota Stadium is also home to the National Soccer Hall of Fame. The 145-acre Toyota Soccer Center also includes 17 regulation-sized, tournament-grade soccer fields and is also home to the organization’s nationally-renowned youth development system and USSDA National Championship Academy program, boasting 25 Homegrown signings to the professional team.
Yes, but why would anyone want to live in DC in the first place? :-)
Since June of last year, well over 300 MPD police officers have retired or resigned. This coincided with the very ill-advised and hasty ‘police reform bill’ that Muriel Bowser signed at about that time.
In this calendar year alone, more than 115 homicides have taken place in DC - among them several beautiful, innocent children who were just doing their normal little-kid stuff and got caught in ‘drive-bys’.
The whole ‘Plaza’ thing was just a cynical political ploy and photo-op for Bowser.
I care more for ‘Black Lives’ than that political hack does.
