   Chaos erupted during Saturday night’s baseball game at Nationals   
   Park — with fans fleeing or taking cover under seats — after a   
   shooting outside the Washington, DC, stadium.   
      
   Police said a shootout between people in two cars at around 9:30   
   p.m. had left three injured, including a female bystander who   
   was attending the game and was hit while standing outside the   
   ballpark.   
      
   The other two victims were in one of the cars and later walked   
   into a local hospital with gunshot wounds, cops said.   
      
   There was “no ongoing threat,” cops wrote in a tweet at around   
   10 p.m., adding that the game between the Washington Nationals   
   and San Diego Padres was suspended.   
      
   Several loud bangs were heard outside the third base gate around   
   9:30 p.m., just as the players were leaving the field in the   
   middle of the sixth inning.   
      
   “Then there was kind of a collective panic from that area in   
   particular right outside the gate,” Nationals fan Stephen Lyons,   
   20, told The Post by phone after the mayhem.   
      
   “Everyone was like ‘oh this is something that was not   
   fireworks.’”   
      
   The college student, who was sitting in section 111, near the   
   third base line, said panic ensued because fans didn’t know what   
   to do and were not given “sufficient directions.”   
      
   Officials did not address the gunshots over the loudspeakers for   
   at least five minutes, leading to “pandemonium,” another   
   attendee, Jaime Varela, 31, told The Post.   
      
   “I saw the staff there like deer in the headlights,” he said.   
   “They didn’t know what was going on, they didn’t know what to   
   tell us.”   
      
   Varela said he saw people both ducking for cover and scrambling   
   to the exits from his perch in the right field terrace, adding,   
   “For a good five minutes nobody knew what was going on.”   
      
   “It was just a chaotic scene,” umpire crew chief Mark Carlson   
   told the Associated Press. “We heard what sounded like rapid   
   gunfire. We didn’t know where it was coming from.”   
      
   Fans could be seen taking cover under their seats as helicopters   
   circled the ballpark, footage tweeted by a WBRZ-TV reporter   
   showed.   
      
   Police sirens blared as panic broke out, with several in the   
   crowd trying to book it out of the ballpark.   
      
   Varela shared footage of throngs of fans trying to exit the   
   stadium — only to quickly reverse course to another exit as   
   armed police stood guard.   
      
   Other videos showed fans streaming onto the field or into the   
   dugouts in fear and confusion.   
      
   Radley Ellenbogen said he was sitting behind home plate when he   
   heard the gunshots.   
      
   “There was just gunshots and a bunch of people running,” he told   
   The Post over the phone, adding that he had raced to the   
   concession stands during the madness.   
      
   Footage taken from a nearby rooftop showed the frantic mass   
   evacuation of the stadium, which is in the city’s Capitol   
   Riverfront neighborhood.   
      
   Players could be seen running into the stands, including Padres   
   shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., who grabbed family members and   
   brought them into the clubhouse, in video posted by Kevin Acee,   
   the Padres reporter for the San Diego Union-Tribune.   
      
   Nationals pitcher Patrick Corbin was one of several people who   
   fled for the concourse. Others rushed into bathrooms or suites,   
   according to an NBC Washington photojournalist.   
      
   The Nationals initially announced there had been an incident   
   outside the stadium and posted a message on the scoreboard   
   asking fans to remain inside.   
      
   “Please remain calm and remain inside the stadium,” said the   
   message over the loudspeaker.   
      
   About 10 minutes later, the home team tweeted that a shooting   
   was was reported outside the third base gate and that “fans are   
   encouraged to exit the ballpark via the CF and RF gates at this   
   time.”   
      
   The game was halted in the sixth inning with San Diego leading   
   the Nats 8-4. It will be resumed Sunday afternoon, followed by   
   the regularly scheduled game.   
      
   Police were questioning the two gunshot victims who were in one   
   of the cars, and were still trying to find the second vehicle   
   involved in the shooting.
