First up, a shooting outside of Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. Three Shot Outside Nationals Park During Game Against Padres
In 2021 I think it would be hard to say that Baseball is still America's Pastime. Street violence seems to be more popular these days.
Three people were shot and wounded outside Nationals Park during a game between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres on Saturday night, sending fans scrambling for safety in the dugouts and prompting the suspension of the game.
People were told to stay in the stadium until cops were sure things were under control, but when asked to leave, some people couldn't get to their cars because of the investigation.
