San Francisco Giants' World Series win marred by violence; 2 shot, 1 stabbed
A night of triumph for San Francisco baseball fans was marred by shootings, fires and arrests.
Police said at least two
people were shot and one more stabbed in San Francisco's Mission
District amid celebrations for the Giants' victory over the Kansas City
Royals on Wednesday night.
Both shooting victims are expected to survive.
Large crowds filled the streets, with occasional bonfires set.
The ruckus on the streets
got so rowdy that Muni, the city's public transit system, was
temporarily suspended due to safety concerns and blocked traffic, CNN affiliate KRON said. Some Muni buses were damaged.
Crowds hurled bottles and
firecrackers at officers trying to disperse crowds and help
firefighters extinguish bonfires, the Police Department said. Several
officers suffered minor injuries.
Arrest figures will be available later Thursday, police said.
