Donald Trump has been booed and jeered while attending a baseball game in Washington DC.
The US president was watching the Houston Astros play the Washington Nationals with first lady Melania Trump.
As the couple were recognised, he smiled and gave a thumbs-up.
Later, however, there was a salute to the US military on the stadium's video screens.
Cheers for military personnel turned to boos and heckling when the loudspeakers announced the president and first lady.
In some sections of the crowd, there were chants of "lock him up", along with banners such as "veterans for impeachment" and "impeach Trump".
Mr Trump did not appear bothered and continued waving.
For only the fourth time in US history, the House of Representatives has started a presidential impeachment inquiry.

House committees are trying to determine if President Trump violated his oath of office by asking Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden and his family, and to investigate the country's involvement in the 2016 US presidential election.
