2 recovering from Candlestick Park violence

Candlestick Park violence
The two men most seriously injured during and after a pre-season football game between the Oakland Raiders and the 49ers on Saturday night are recovering at a San Francisco hospital.

A 26-year-old man from San Rafael was beaten unconscious in a stadium restroom and suffered traumatic brain injury, San Francisco General Hospital spokeswoman Rachael Kagen said.

The other hospitalized victim, a 25-year-old man, was in a parking lot when he was shot in the abdomen, but managed to drive to a security office for help, authorities said.

Each patient's condition was upgraded from serious to fair, Kagen said.

The names of the victims have not been released.

A third man was wounded, also during a parking lot confrontation, police said. His condition was not available. Police are seeking a person of interest in one of the shootings.
