San Francisco 49ers defensive end Keion White was shot in an ankle early Monday during a scuffle in a San Francisco nightclub, hours after the end of Super Bowl LX in nearby Santa Clara, California.
“A preliminary investigation revealed a verbal altercation occurred between two groups inside a business,” the San Francisco Police Department said in a statement, according to ESPN.
“The victim was injured when shots were fired by an unknown suspect,” the statement said.
“Keion White was a victim of a shooting and sustained a bullet wound to his ankle this morning in San Francisco,” the team said in a statement, according to CBS.
“He is currently undergoing surgery at a local hospital. We will provide further updates when appropriate,” the statement said.
