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.
