The party that featured a stabbing of 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith and a pair of shootings understandably has spawned a full-blown police investigation.

Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports that detectives in Santa Clara County hope to speak to anyone who witnessed any of incidents from the soiree gone haywire.

Per Barrows, the authorities who responded to the incident had no luck. Despite the presence of so many people at the remote home that Santa Clara County deputies obtained backup from San Jose police and the California Highway Patrol, none gave any information about what happened.

It’s unknown whether and to what extent Smith has cooperated or will cooperate with the investigation. Even though his injuries weren’t serious, he was stabbed with a knife -- which in most jurisdictions amounts to a crime.
