Fans jump into a camera well after hearing gunfire from outside the stadium, during a baseball game between the San Diego Padres and the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park in Washington on Saturday, July 17, 2021. But in the moment, no one knew whether the rapid series of shots was coming from inside the ballpark or beyond. A woman who had attended the game was waiting for an Uber outside the park when she was struck by gunfire, according to a police report. Minutes after the shots were heard, a message appeared on the Nationals Park scoreboard saying that the incident was outside the park and fans should remain inside. We appreciate each and every one of you and we look forward to seeing you back at Nationals Park,” the team said.
