Don't they have strict gun control laws there? How can this be?

Exactly. Must be fake news.

They rescheduled it for a doubleheader.

Their ace will start. Not much on his fastball, but sure can throw the change up. Kind of like he changes his recommendations daily.

Funny part is if the shooting was outside why did they clear the park rather than cower in place? Asking for a friend.

Right? Especially when you consider that stadiums are built somewhat like fortresses with all the outsides designed to deny access to the uninvited.

Maybe kicked out or left early?

Or "I wuz there for the game!" is a cock-and-bull.

How did the fans and players even know what was going on outside,

ugh , I dont get it. How many people got hurt in the “evacuation” of the stadium

Didn't you get the memo? When you hear shots, you're supposed to run. Jack.

That's odd. I would have locked the door, crawled under my desk and sheltered in place.

The washed up midget league's star pitcher.


Oopps. Sorry. He really likes a tossed salad so that makes him a catcher. Right?

Plenty of people leave baseball games early. Where I come from, it’s practically a tradition: you have to leave Dodger Stadium in the seventh, at the latest, if you don’t want to be sitting in traffic for hours.

Nats were down 8-4. Maybe it was clear the Padres had the momentum and the dude just figured there was no point in staying. Who knows?

Wasn't Psaki supposed to throw out the first pitch for this game? Did the gunmen circle back to confirm they hit the right targets?

Sounds like that Park is not "SAFE!"

Dunno, but I heard Muffin Maid referred to as "The Fake Redhead"

Heller.

It's a free for all out there now, the guns flow like wine.

He could just as easily have been one of the hundreds of fans that flock to X # of sports bars surrounding any stadium USA.

A shooting has been reported outside of the Third Base Gate at Nationals Park. Fans are encouraged to exit the ballpark via the CF and RF gates at this time.

I still love this. "There's a shooting outside. We require you to go outside and possibly get shot." Only in DC can you have this back-assward logic.

Some Instapundit reader refers to her as Raggedy Andy's Ugliest Sister.
