Instead of a seventh-inning stretch, Saturday night's MLB game between the Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres had a sixth-inning scare. The game erupted into chaos after gunshots rang out near Nationals Park in Washington, causing players and fans to flee for safety. "Something crazy going on at Nationals Park," Boston Globe sportswriter Ben Volin tweeted. The Padres also tweeted, saying the club's thoughts were "with everyone affected by the incident outside of Nationals Park." Nationals Park is located less than 2 miles south of the U.S. Capitol, in Washington's Southwest Waterfront area.
