NATIONALS PARK, D.C. - The Padres and Nationals baseball game was stopped during the 6th inning when a shooting was reported outside.

WBRZ reporter Dana DiPiazza was in the stands when panic erupted inside the stadium Saturday evening. Video showed spectators taking cover beneath their seats as an announcement over loud speakers asked everyone to remain inside the stadium

I spoke with a #Nationals fan who says the reported shooting involved a victim running into the stadium for help, covered in blood.

He says he ran with his son in fear for their lives and hid until officials announced it was safe to leave.#DC #News #Breaking pic.twitter.com/cOsCpZdy2v
