Fans FLEE Nationals Park, RUN to dugouts amid reports of shooter; Updates: 2 reported shot, fans told how to exit

Fans at Nationals Park on Saturday began to run through gates toward the parking lots, or to run onto the field, and into the dugouts as reports of a shooting, and/or active shooter raced across phones, devices, and even the big screen.

There was chaos as people did what they could to protect themselves — that includes players.

Eventually the team advised that there was a reported shooting outside the third base gate, and advised the crowed on where to exit to avoid the situation.

There are many reports that there were two people shot, and one in custody, but there is NOTHING CONFIRMED. They are only reports.

Many videos shared on Twitter say the sound heard in this clip is the gunfire being picked up by the broadcast.

This is a developing story and this post may be updated.
