The 49ers are also in communication with local authorities as they gather information regarding the incident, and will reserve further comment at this time.”
Multiple sources told CSNBayArea.com Saturday evening that Smith sustained minor stab wounds, most likely from a small pocketknife, while he attempted to break up a fight. The location of the wounds are believed to be in his shoulder and abdomen.
A sheriff’s department spokesman said investigators are still gathering information and there are no suspects in the case.
Smith was admitted to the emergency room at Regional Medical Center in San Jose. He was treated and released at 5 a.m., a hospital source told CSNBayArea.com.
According to the Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office, they responded to a 911 call at 2:14 a.m. from a large house party hosted at Smith’s house in San Jose Saturday, and transported three victims to local hospitals with non-life-threatening wounds.
Responding deputies were met by a large crowd of people at the house party and located two gunshot victims and one stabbing victim.
Here’s a pic from the party.
