Jason reported around 8am: “woke up to what sounded like gunshots. Avoid south cap by the ballpark right now”

Other replied: “I’m on the 4th and could’ve sworn I heard gunshots right before my alarm went off at 7:45!!”

“Heard 3-4 gunshots too, and I’m on 8th floor building facing the river” (more…)


Thanks to Sierra for sending yesterday: “A very confidently wrong driver earlier today in Navy Yard by Osteria Morini.”

Yesterday AlertDC reported: ” US Air Force reports a flyover in the NCR consisting of two (2) military aircrafts at National Park on Thursday, April 7th, 2022 at 3:59PM.”

The Nats confirmed “Flyover by the 113th Wing, 121st Fighter Squadron from the D.C. Air National Guard, in F-16 Jets”

Since the game was pushed back to 7:05pm, presumably this will now occur at 6:59. Anyway if you see/hear some fighter jets later, this is why.

From the Nationals:

STREAMLINED BALLPARK ENTRY

The Washington Nationals have updated entry procedures to streamline access to Nationals Park.
Ballpark gates open 90 minutes prior to first pitch, and parking garages open 2.5 hours prior to first pitch.
New Technology

Fans will enjoy expedited entry with the implementation of CEIA OPENGATETM technology at all entrances.

Fans entering the ballpark no longer need to remove keys and wallets from their pockets or have their bags searched, but instead will walk through the screening system in a single file line before presenting their tickets. (more…)
