San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco on Saturday, authorities and his team said.
In a statement, the 49ers said Pearsall “sustained a bullet wound to his chest and is in serious but stable condition.” Police said in an evening news conference that Pearsall was talking after being struck. Mayor London Breed said on social media platform X that the attack took place in the Union Square community in the center of downtown. Police identified the suspect only as a 17-year-old boy.
Both Pearsall and the teen were hospitalized, the chief said. San Francisco County Supervisor Aaron Peskin said earlier on X that Pearsall had been stabilized at a hospital. The suspect was found by responding officers already in the area as he fled, and the gun he allegedly used was recovered, Scott said. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said the teen would be charged in juvenile court.
