At least four people were injured Saturday in a shooting outside Nationals Park Stadium during a baseball game between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres.
Hundreds of people fled upon hearing the shots, while others sought shelter.
The shooting was heard inside the stadium, where the assistants ran to protect themselves from a possible threat.
The police assure that the situation has already been controlled.
The game between San Diego and Washington has been suspended and will resume tomorrow.
Videos of the moment when dozens of people fled were seen on social networks.
In the stadium there were entire families, in some of the videos you can see how parents try to hide their children when it was still not clear where the shots came from.
