Tekmo najmočnejše ameriške besaball lige med ekipama Washington Nationals in San Diego Padres je v ameriškem glavnem mestu prekinilo streljanje, gledalci in igralci obeh moštev so v paniki iskali zavetje. Večina ljudi je pobegnila s stadiona Nationals Park. Policija je kasneje potrdila, da je več ljudi zunaj stadiona utrpelo strelne rane. Po prvih informacijah ni znano, ali se je streljanje začelo na stadionu, ali zunaj njega.
Po prvotnih podatkih policije so bile poškodovane štiri osebe, ki naj bi bile vse prepeljane v bolnišnico, mediji so to številko kasneje znižali na tri. Pri Washington Postu so objavili, da je bil en moški ustreljen v nogo, ena ženska pa v hrbet, njuni življenji nista v nevarnosti.
Dvoboj med Nationals in Padres je bil prekinjen v šestem inningu in kasneje (vsaj začasno) suspendiran.
