Violence at championship games is bad enough but when people start shooting each other at exhibition games things have really gotten out of control.
Two men are fighting for their lives after one was
savagely beaten in a Candlestick Park bathroom
during the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders
exhibition game and another was shot several times
after the game in a double shooting in the parking
lot.
A 24-year-old man, who was wearing an "(Expletive)
the Niners" T-shirt, was shot two to four times in the
stomach before driving his truck to Gate A and
stumbling to security, said San Francisco police Sgt.
Frank Harrell. He was taken to San Francisco General
Hospital in critical condition.
Another man in his 20s was shot near Lot V about
20 minutes earlier and had superficial face injuries,
Harrell said, and was taken to the same hospital.
The first shooting happened shortly after 8 p.m.,
about 15 minutes after the game ended.
"We are treating it as separate shootings, but we
believe they are related," Harrell said.
Police pulled a man off a party bus before it left the
parking lot and are calling him a suspect. He was
wearing an Oakland Raiders jersey, Harrell said. All
three men attended the game, he said.
In the fourth quarter, around 7:15 p.m., a 26-year-
old San Rafael man was assaulted and knocked
unconscious in an upper level men's restroom, said
Sgt. Michael Andraychak. He was taken to the
hospital with life-threatening injuries, he said.
The suspect in the beating is a male Samoan/Pacific
Islander, 25 to 30 years old, 6-feet-3 to 6-feet-5,
and 225 to 260 pounds.
He had a goatee and long curly hair tied in a pony
tail and was last seen wearing a T-shirt and
bluejeans, Andraychak said.
Police did not say whether the beating and shooting
were related.
Anyone witnessing either crime can call the San
Francisco police tip line at 415-575-4444 or text a
tip to TIP411 and include "SFPD" in the beginning of
the text.
The 49ers released a statement following the game,
but only touched on the shooting.
"The San Francisco Police Department is
investigating a shooting incident following
Saturday's NFL game between the San Francisco
49ers and Oakland Raiders outside Candlestick Park.
No other information regarding the incident is
available from the 49ers at this time."
The 49ers beat the Raiders 17-3 Saturday night in
the bitter rivalry.

Of the military variety, yes. I am assuming you aren't using shorthand for bratwurst. *NM*
