Saturday’s baseball game between the San Diego Padres and the Washington Nationals was cut off in the bottom of the sixth inning, after shots were fired outside Nationals Park.

Washington D.C. police department confirmed that at least four people were wounded in the shooting, which took place outside the Third Base Gate.

The victims’ names and conditions were not disclosed. It was said, though, that two of them walked themselves to an area hospital.

Reports from the scene say that multiple gun shots were heard by those at Nationals Park, which led to panic, among those in the stadium. Fans were at first advised to stay in their seats, via the scoreboard and an announcer, though they were ultimately allowed to leave the park through the center and right field gates.

The suspended game between the Padres and the Nations will resume at Nationals Park on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. ET. The third game of the series, previously scheduled for that day, will begin shortly after its conclusion.
