“We stand together against senseless acts of gun violence in the city we love. Gun violence — no matter where it occurs in our city — is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,\" the joint statement said Sunday. \" ...“We appreciate the tremendous cooperation of the fans at Saturday night’s game who did all that was asked of them under very stressful circumstances, and the police and the fire emergency medical personnel who responded.

The game was in the bottom of the sixth inning when fans heard loud pops outside the park. The game was halted as fans were seen heading for the concourse and some even exited the stands onto the field and into the dugouts.

Police said the shooting occurred about 9:30 p.m. and that D.C. Metropolitan Police officers were at the stadium, heard the gunshots and found a woman, who was attending the game, wounded outside the stadium.

\"While investigating, members located an adult female, conscious and breathing, suffering from a gunshot wound,\" police said in a statement on Sunday, adding that the woman was taken to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

She is expected to be OK, police said. Two others believed to be involved in the shooting are being questioned at the hospital.

A short time later, police were notified of two additional adult male victims who were seeking treatment at a local hospital for non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. They were both being questioned at the hospital.
