People evacuating the Padres/Nationals game in what appears to be an active shooter situation after 5 gunshots ring out.
I was there in section 306. The gunshots sounded like they were literally right behind us and inside the stadium (turned out to be outside). We all legit thought there was an active shooter inside the stadium with us. It was total herd panic for a good 5-10 minutes.
People were running into bathrooms and barricading them. Staff ran into utility rooms and locked themselves in. Shops were slamming shutters closed as my friend and I ran by. Some folk were even beating on doors begging to be let in.
Fun stuff.
Road games can be tough. Kevlar uniforms?

A fan who threw a baseball at Red Sox left fielder Alex Verdugo during Boston's game against the New York Yankees has been banned for life from all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums.
"While the Yankees appreciate the spirit and passion of our fans in our various rivalries — especially with the Red Sox – reckless, disorderly and dangerous behavior that puts the safety of players, field staff or fellow fans in jeopardy will not be tolerated," the Yankees said in a statement, via the Associated Press.
Tomase: Verdugo incident the latest example of unacceptable fan behavior
The incident occurred in the sixth inning when the fan threw a ball at Verdugo from the left field stands, hitting him in the back. Verdugo said he tossed the ball into the stands intending it for a young Red Sox fan, but that a Yankees fan ended up with it.
