Shooting outside Nats Park

[Anonymous]

My 3 year got out of bed and told me there were helicopters in her room. Now I know why. Unfortunately this is a frequent occurrence over here and as much I love my neighborhood, I am increasing uncomfortable and concerned.

It's time to accept it in DC. Guns are only a problem when people want to legally own them, you guys don't care about illegal gun crime, embrace the decisions you've made and live with them.

If it has been decades, then you should remember the carjackings of the late 80's/early 90's.

Carjackings and shooting are back in D.C. vogue, unabashedly.

Nats Park handled this HORRIBLY. People laid on the ground, ducking for cover, for seemingly forever. They made sure to secure the players first, and NO ONE knew what was really happening. Fans were running toward the dugout for cover.

DISGRACEFUL Nats - you can do better with minimal effort.

Awful. No one should go to a baseball game in the Nation's Capitol and experience this BS.

It sounded like fireworks, and fans were asking "is it fireworks night tonight, or was that last night??!!"

My. God.

People are fleeing, as if Marion Barry is in office.

NBC sports reporting one of those shot is a stadium employee. Right by 3rd gate entrance, which we used at last night’s game. It’s by the smoothie and lobster roll vendors. Awful.

Told people WTF was going on instead of inciting chaos, punk. People were screaming and running. No direction. None.

I feel like DC has given up on crime fighting due to social justice reasons. This will not end well.

Awful smug of you. I know undergrad resident advisors who handled dorm fires better than this sh&t.

Oh, and I wish this on you, by virtue of your attitude problem.

A six year old was shot and killed last night and no one cared. But now that the gun shots can be heard on TV and important people could get hit in crossfire, now we care.

I was at the game. I thought Nats park did pretty well with making announcements to stay in the stadium etc.

But geeze talk about a rise in crime.
