In addition, several Twitter users pointed out that loud popping sounds could be heard on the broadcast right before it cut away.
The DC Police Department confirmed the shooting in a tweet at 10 pm saying two people were shot outside the park.
Reportedly, the Nationals were in the sixth inning of a game against the San Diego Padres when the shooting was informed.
However, the Saturday night’s game would be suspended until Sunday afternoon.
