Two shot and one stabbed as Giants fans revel

At least two people were shot and one person stabbed after fans of the San Francisco Giants flooded the city’s streets celebrating the baseball team’s World Series victory over the Kansas City Royals.

The celebrations reportedly turned violent after fans lit several fires across the city.
