-- A man wearing a "F- the 49ers" T-shirt was shot outside Candlestick Park shortly after the end of Saturday night's preseason game between the Raiders and 49ers, a police sergeant said.
He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where his condition was called critical as of 10 p.m. Saturday.
Police detained a suspect shortly after the shooting - a man wearing Raiders apparel who was found on a party bus in an RV section of the parking lot, according to San Francisco police Sgt. Frank Harrell. Harrell spoke to reporters outside the stadium.
A second shooting victim was found near Pole V in the parking lot, Harrell said, and had superficial wounds to his face. He was listed in stable condition at S.F. General.
In addition, according to Bay City News, a San Rafael man, 26, was assaulted and knocked unconscious in a restroom at Candlestick during the game, police said. He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Of the shooting victims, the victim in critical condition appeared to have been shot two to four times in the stomach, according to Harrell. He was discovered when he drove a pickup truck to the Gate A parking lot entrance and stumbled out of the truck.
Police believe all three men attended the game. A police statement said the man in critical condition was 24 and the other shooting victim was in his 20s.
The two shooting victims were found separately and any link between them, or between either of them and the suspect, had not been established.
