SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Two men were shot and wounded in the parking lot of Candlestick Park after a preseason NFL game Saturday night between the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders, police said.
The shootings occurred around 8 p.m., shortly after the 49ers' 17-3 victory, police Sgt. Michael Andraychak said.

Wow....I never thought that there would be another team that made Eagles fans look like angels! Just damn.
The reports I hear are that the shooting victim was wearing a shirt dissing the 49ers so the shooter was likely a 49er fan.
No NFL stadium allows concealed carry and it has nothing to do with the laws. It's just private policy.
By November 2012, election time, things could be very interesting.
I'm surprised too, along with what goes on in Philly. NFL games are no longer a sure sellout (even playoffs) and the league will go the way of the NBA if it comes to be perceived as a sport preferred by thugs.
The shootings happened in the Parking Lot, not the secured area of the stadium.
The NFL makes a lot of money off of the Oakland Franchise. They will let these animals do whatever they want. Afterall, it is the Police and normal citizens who have to deal with it in the end, not the NFL. They are laughing all the way to the bank.
Yeah, to a guy walking back to his car and the beating of a guy nearly to death happened in the bathroom.
Concealed carry can be a lifesaver in many instances, but they aren't going to be the societal paradigm changer that I see ascribed to them so often on FR.
Most of these crimes are done by people who have the impulse control of a rabid squirrel and the forethought abilities of a fruit fly.
The consequences of them pulling a gun are the furthest thing from their mind when they do it.
Ever spent much time in the ghetto watching people cross the street? Everybody knows you get hit by a truck and you could die, yet they dart into the street constantly like deer on a rural road. No forethought, even on that rudimentary level. None.
I mean all their enemies carry pistols and that doesn't stop them from shooting up a birthday party.
Sure, you'll cure a symptom here and there with CCW, but it won't make much of a dent in the problem.
Good points. Agree with you that the ‘root cause’ is the problem. I am simply not going to be a victim of it. I spent too many years hanging ‘it’ out there to be now left alone in peace. So, I don’t do crowds anymore.
I guess they ARE ready for some football!.........
Cowboys/Texans will probably have M-16’s in the parking lot ala Fast & Furious........
Oh, and the Cardinals and Chargers, too!.........
Why did you want to see a manatee?......oh, wait.........
I’m surprised too, since the shootings occurred at Candlestick Park...in San Francisco.
You betch ya. 3 legal and probably 3 throw away.
Well look like Raider fan acting like Raider fan
LOL - except that the Texans and Cowboys will not be crossing paths this year. :)
No, I meant their fans!....
