On July 17, 2021, at about 9:30 p.m. EDT, a shooting occurred outside of Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., during a baseball game between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres. Three people were injured.[1] The shooting happened in the middle of the sixth inning with San Diego holding an 8–4 lead.[2][3] Some fans moved into the teams' dugouts and onto the field while others left the stadium.[4][5]
Aftermath[edit]
Some stadium employees believed the incident to be a drive-by shooting.[6] The Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPD) reported the shooting occurred at N Street and South Capitol Street SW, near the Third Base Gate.[7]
In a joint statement the following day, Mayor of D.C. Muriel Bowser and Nationals owner Mark Lerner said, "While MPD's investigation is ongoing, it appears the incident involved a dispute between individuals in two vehicles. MPD does not believe the Washington Nationals, the ballpark or fans were the target."[8][9]
The game was suspended and was completed the following day at 1:05 p.m., before that day's regularly scheduled game, without further incident.[10] The Padres defeated the Nationals, 10–4.[11]
