SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — An assault victim and a shooting victim remain in serious condition after a violent night at Candlestick Park Saturday, according to officials at San Francisco General Hospital.

Three people were hospitalized after two men were found shot in the parking lot at around 8 p.m., and another man was beaten unconscious in a bathroom inside the stadium between 7:15 and 7:30 p.m.

The incidents happened during a preseason football game between the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers.

San Francisco police are searching for a person of interest in one of the two shootings outside the stadium, a police spokesman said Sunday.

At around 8 p.m., two shooting victims were found in the stadium parking lot. Police are still unsure whether the shootings are connected, but the two men were found far enough away from each other that police are currently treating them as separate investigations, San Francisco Police Sgt. Michael Andraychak said Sunday.

One 24-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to San Francisco General Hospital. The other man was in his 20s and his injuries were not life-threatening, but he remained in the hospital this afternoon.

Police remained uncertain Sunday whether the shooting victims had attended the game, or whether they were fans of a particular team, Andraychak said.

The shootings were not the only incidents of violence at the football stadium Saturday.

A 26-year-old San Rafael man was assaulted and knocked unconscious in an upper-level restroom between 7:15 and 7:30 p.m. He was taken to the hospital suffering life-threatening injuries. His condition was listed as serious Sunday, according to information from San Francisco General Hospital.

Police are searching for a suspect in the beating, described as a Samoan/Pacific Islander male, 25-30 years old, between 6 foot 3 inches and 6 foot 5 inches tall, weighing 225 to 260 pounds. He had a goatee and long curly hair tied up in a ponytail, and was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans.

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and Oakland Mayor Jean Quan issued a joint statement Sunday condemning the violence.

“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,” the statement said.

The National Football League also issued a statement about the violence. “We pledge our full support to Mayors Lee and Quan and to sate and local law enforcement agencies,” it said. “We will work with our clubs and law enforcement agencies to ensure responsible fan conduct at all NFL games.”

The 49ers issued a statement saying the team is working with police to understand how Saturday’s events happened, and that it is hopeful for the recovery of the victims.

“The 49ers’ primary concern has always been, and will continue to be, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for our fans on game day.”

Coach Jim Harbaugh of the 49ers said he was saddened by the news that fans had become violent at Saturday’s game during a conference call with reporters Sunday. “I feel for those people who were injured,” Harbaugh said.

He said he was not aware of the violence happening in the stands and outside the stadium during the game.

Anyone with information on yesterday’s incidents is asked to call the tip line at (4150) 575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD.

I think Sports fans are forgetting that sporting events are for entertainment,,, others have the right to support their favorite team without fear of retaliation…. This is America,, freedom of choice is our right… Get a Grip, and practice “Good Sportsmanship”!!!!!!

This kind of stuff gives us Raider Fans a bad name! So sad…

These events are called “Straight Pride Parades”. They often occur after some testosterone injected sports celebration. Many people are injured and property is usually damaged. Disgraceful and perverted.

Steve from the Sunset

I’m not sure why you would call that a straight pride parade, sounds more like Halloween in the Castro.

Another 5 letter word for fraud… OBAMA

Boris

All the perps in all the violent incidents that have been in the news are either black or Hispanic. Makes it tough to take you liberal morons seriously…

Count Yob

The article said one of the suspects is Samoan.

AtlasObjectivist

Actually it is standard liberal mob violence and what a better place than S.F.

These people are fighting here because nobody will fight for them in Washingon DC

Jerry Voy

What a joke! Nobody is fighting for me in DC, so should I go shoot a couple people?

yep shoot who ever you can.

What a dumb post.
Rick

These people are fighting because they are amoral garbage.

toni

Why are they ‘amoral’ saying they are amoral suggests they have no concept of right and wrong. they know quite well they are committing wrong and illegal acts. They are immoral, not amoral.
Joe

Toni, you know that they are not ‘amoral’, how? You can know that something is illegal and still not care one whit about whether it is immoral. Most murderers understand that their behavior is illegal, but are unconcerned about any issues of morality. Their lack of remorse after arrest has proven this time and again. O.J. comes to mind.

Defining this type of behavior as amoral fits the crime.
Rick

Toni, amoral is often defined as, unaware of or indifferent to questions of right or wrong. I would say they qualify as indifferent, maybe we could say their actions were immoral and they are amoral.

Jeff Dempsey

How can anyone be represented in Washington DC when there is one representative per 720,000 people. How much listening to one person can there be, when it is that dilute? If that relationship were in place in 1790 (when the number was 1:30,000), there would have been 5.5 (population in 1790, 3.9million).
The truth is, there is no one represented until we get that proportion back.
If Candlestick Park, where you can get 59,732 people in there, a representative could ignore the entire contents of that stadium, and still get re-elected. In fact, the representative could ignore them 5 times over, and still be re-elected.
If you really want representation in the US Congress, and not just full of air, research this, and come up with your own conclusions as to what should be done. Google 30,000 and Congress, and look for the original first amendment to the US Constitution, never ratified.

Jeff Dempsey

oops… 69,732 for Candlestick Park…

and…

5.5 representatives. That is based on the entire population, notwithstanding the minimum of 1 Representative per state, called out for in the Constitution, so the actual number would have been 13, since no state had 720,000 people in it at the time.

and yes, even though I am Conservative (I know, not popular in the Bay Area, but hey, Seattle isn’t much kinder to my way of thinking either), but representation shouldn’t be Conservative or Progressive. It just should be.
bobbyace

YOUR mindset is the PROBLEM ! We, (the people with jobs,) don’t want representation. Only the minorities do. What we want the morons in DC to do is tax us a lot less, go away, & leave us alone. Everything they touch turns to shizer…especially that affirmative action baby Obama. What the US ever did so wrong…to deserve that complete educated idiot…is a mystery.

So, Dempsey, what do you want, another 500 representatives at $174,000 per year ?
The ones we already have (see: Maxine Waters) are already worthless. We sure as hell don’t need anymore like her or Nancy “Botox” Pilosi !
How far did YOU go to school — 2-miles ?
Jeff Dempsey

Bobbyace,
I think there was a miscommunication in the way I presented it. What I am advocating (this is for you too, freecheese) is that we have 1 representative for 30,000, making it much easier to get people OUT than term limits, or anything else. I want a healthy churn in there.

What will happen if there are 1:30K, there will be 10,000 representatives, and my hope is that getting 5000+1 to agree on anything would be difficult, and thereby make Washington do less.

Plus, getting 15,000+1 people to get a dead-beat Congressperson out is a lot easier than getting 360,000+1 to do the same. Furthermore, there is a better chance that you’ll know the person, rather than have some Tiger-suited weirdo go in, just because he has a D or R next to his name.

And Freecheese, I totally agree with you, let’s lower their salary to, say, $80K/year, have virtual meetings (like we all do at work) for non-confidential things, and above all, stop idolizing these people.

I’m sorry again if my ideas came off as endorsing any person, R or D. I, however, don’t think the magical number of 435 is perfect for having the people represented in the US Congress. Don’t get me started on the stupidity of the 17th amendment… Hint: Why do we have 2 houses of representatives, one for 2 years and one for 6?

Take care, and please let me have it again by replying to my original post. They won’t let it cascade.
john

Oh yeah, just what we need: MORE free-loading, out for themselves Congress “persons” spending money.

dogbone

Thats because you have a Nancy fighting for you!
Donna Don’t

Thanks, Donna, for proving why America’s education system needs serious reform. I doubt more than half of the fighters could even find Washington, DC, on a map.
freecheese

Donna See;
Your are a LOSER. If you base your life on being helped by the government, instead of helping yourself, you are a LOSER.
You are a liberal democrat. Your party’s hero, JFK said just the opposite of what yoiu expect. You are a LOSER !!!!!!!!!!!!
Ltpar

What an idiot you are. Those are drunks, bullies and they fight because they love it. There are no worse teams in the NFL than Oakland and San Francisco.
keithfld

Hey Donna,

How’s the view through your belly-button? Apparently you have you head stuck somewhere pretty far.
Chris

LOL this must be a joke that nobody in DC is standing up for them. They are the ones who voted the people in Washington. Well that is if they aren’t convicted felons or are smart enough to go register to vote. The people fighting at that game will ruin football for a lot of people. They will probably do away with beer sales this season due to the fact that these idiots can’t drink and not fight. Same thing happened at the Giants game.

Eric

Watch out for Raiders games. Glad I sold those tickets.
Rob

I am happy to know that all of the rednecks are not in the South. Some are obviously in CA.
MrObserver

Sports and religion, the two primitive elements that weighs man down from advancement to perfection. “It’s MY team, man!” “No, no, it’s MYYYY team”
“Hey dude, didja see the game last night?” “Oh wow, he smiled at the fans, how I wish my IDOL would bend over so I could kiss his butt” I never could understand the sub-brained mania with all this. I loved playing when i was young but somewhere along the way I grew up. Not to say watching a game once in awhile or going out to one is bad but really…….this?

Stephen Wilkins

I’m not sure if primitive people had time for sports. The sports craze seems to be a phenomena of more civilized society (to it’s detriment). And as western society has become overwhelmingly secular, it hardly seems to be drifting toward perfection. Consider the arts, manners, dress, crime, literacy, cultural literacy, every thing seems to be moving toward decay.
Ken

You omitted one of the most fanatical groups out there: the political evangelicals. Democrats! no, Republicans! fight!

James

Ken – You are an idiot,

BrilliantObservation

Yes, the connection between these thugs and religion makes perfect sense–thanks for enlightening us.
Paul

I don’t know what your talking about. The Christian Religion teaches exactly the opposite of this action. The fruits of The Holy Spirit are
Charity
Joy
Peace
Patience
Benignity
Goodness
Long-suffering (patient suffering over an extended period)
Mildness
Faith
Modesty
Continency
Chastity
I don’t see any of these fruits displayed here. Sorry, but your nothing but a religious bigot.

Duke

I wish Mexico was able to afford there own baseball or American football league …it would be one less thing that Californians would have to worry about when they wanna go enjoy sporting events.

Pope Big Boobies

too darn funny

MrObserver

You’re witnessing the breakdown of our society.

toni

As opposed to the ‘breakdown’ of society when blacks were being beaten and lynched by whites? gtfoh.

MrObserver

You know what. I was raised in that era in the south bronx. i was one of sixteen whites in my school. The rest was divided between latino and black. I never had a problem with the blacks. to this day I have close friends of all colors. Yes, it was bad back then but
in reality the lyncing were few and far in between compared to the murders of today not only amongst black on black but of every other rainbow in the sky walks of life. No it was no picnic back then but as I traveled for the first time down south in the 60′s I met and had more then a few black folk take me under their wing and treat me like a long lost friend. That wouldn’t happen today. It’s a whole new animal to tame.
MrObserver

And you toni I’m not sure where you’re coming from. Are you black or some mentally sick liba? gtfoh????
Here’s MY rebuttal to you
“You speak through your a*s. Do some research before you vomit on yourself!”
capn.jinks

what a typical black response…not worth responding to. how about all the black on white crime not being reported at all for fear of inciting more animal behavior (wisoconsin state fair, philly, chicago). welcome to obama’s new amerika

That sounds good. Too bad it didn’t work out. When I hear of a crime on TV or read of one in the paper or on internet, my first thought is demos.

In this case it was a couple of tons of Samoans that were trying to kill each other . . . BTW, what about the French Inquisition? . . . Don’t forget that.

Lee

Exactly the reason I don’t bring my kids to football games… pathetic losers bringing weapons to sporting events. Hopefully they got the right guy and he gets life in prison!

Mitch

LOL. prison. They only lock you up if you tick off the wrong kingpin. Otherwise it is always a slap on the wrist. Nobody truly fears the playland prisons of today.

Bush’s fault.

yes! i’ve traced the roots of the CIvil War and determined that that was Jebediah Bush’s Fault!!!!

R Mac

I am glad the handgun ban is working.
toni

@Sam Mallory LOL. what do you mean ‘please’ prove you wrong? You can believe whatever you so choose. I do find it interesting that you believe white people are so holier than thou, that they never do anything wrong. Have you ever been to a hockey game and seen the fighting that goes on in the crowd?–I have and they aren’t black or mexican. Check out riot photos throughout the past 60 years and you’ll see many many whites involved in violence. And why do white men love to molest children(?) please let me know.

MrObserver

You tell him Toni, that’s right white men do molest little children and get caught. But it also happens in the black community, only they don’t realize it’s wrong so it doesnt get reported. that’s why no one claims to be a daddy.And guess what, it happens a lot in the hispanic turf as well. But they don’t tolorate or report it. they just stab the basta*d.Like I said earlier….you’re witnessing the break down of our society….in our lifetime.
Rich Weigel

Toni good point! Sam please explain for me as well??

@AL if you purpose to ban based on ethnicity how do you plan to enforce that when the players, event staff, police, and security is also made up of Blacks and Mexicans?
capn.jinks

we are holier than thou, remember that
david

Toni,
I agree that stereotypes have no place in our society but you cant deny statistics. Over 60% of violent crime is commited by black males which consist of only 6% of the population. However, for anybody of another race to have irrational fear is misdirected as well since the majority of their victims are black. Something has to be done on a social level to remedy the problem. To deny the reality of it will only perpetuate the problem. To your final comment: the rate of child molestation is no higher among whites than any other race. In fact, statistically, black males are more likely to engage in sex with an under age victim. These statistics are available at the US Department of Justice web site.

Idiocracy; brought to you by welfare, poor education and other social experiments. In other words, our federal government.

I would not be surprised if DHS has the TSA start to provide security for NFL games. Next it will be NBA then basketball. The TSA moved from the airports to Buses and trains. Now it will be Sports stadiums and shopping malls and huge outdoor events where these kids have been doing flash mobs. OUR own NAZI stasi force, right when the economy collapses.

DON’T FORGET…it was the recently inaugurated Moron-In-Chief Obama who said, ” We need a civilian security force just as well funded & just as strong as the military ! ” Good post…you hit the nail on the head !
