San Francisco And Oakland Mayors Decry Violence At 49ers-Raiders Game
"Violence will not be tolerated in either of our stadiums," the mayors said in the statement. "The incidents at Candlestick Park last night ... are completely unacceptable and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
"Fans come to our stadiums to enjoy an afternoon of football, not to be subjected to intimidation or violence. These games are family events and the types of images we witnessed last night have no place in our arenas."
Following the 49ers' 17-3 win over Oakland, a man wearing a T-shirt disparaging the 49ers in a profane manner was shot and taken to San Francisco General Hospital. He was in critical condition.
Police detained a suspect shortly after the shooting -- a Raiders fan found on a party bus in an RV section of the parking lot.
A second shooting victim was found with superficial wounds to his face near Pole V and was listed in stable condition.
San Francisco police Sgt. Frank Harrell said in the report that the victim in critical condition appeared to have been shot two to four times in the stomach.
The victim, who is believed to be 24, was discovered when he drove a pickup truck to the Gate A parking lot entrance and stumbled out of it.
The victims' names have not been released.
