When they arrived, they found two people with gunshot wounds and another suffering from stab wounds. All three were taken to hospitals where they were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. A sheriff's spokesman said he could not comment on the identity of the victims."

According to Sgt. Jose Cardoza, more than 100 people were in attendance at the party, and it required the San Jose police and the California Highway Patrol to serve as backup. Cardoza said they did not have any suspects yet and described it as a "chaotic scene."

San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke released this statement:

"The San Francisco 49ers are aware that Aldon Smith incurred minor injuries during an incident last night. We are in contact with Aldon, and thankful that his injuries were not more serious and that he is recovering comfortably. The 49ers are also in communication with local authorities as they gather information regarding the incident, and will reserve further comment at this time."

This isn't the first time the seventh overall pick in 2011 has found himself in the news this offseason. In January, Smith was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol in Miami Beach.

Smith, who came off the bench when he set the rookie team record with 14 sacks, is expected to start at outside linebacker this season, according to The Bee.
