NFL rookie Ricky Pearsall of the San Francisco 49ers was shot during an attempted robbery. “He suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and is in serious but stable condition,” his team said.
According to police, the attack on the wide receiver, the 49ers' first-round pick in this year's draft, occurred on Saturday afternoon in downtown San Francisco.
According to reports, the arrested 17-year-old suspect was also injured in the altercation and taken to hospital.
The police were “immediately on the scene and the shooter was arrested. My thoughts are with Ricky and his family,” wrote Mayor London Breed on the X network. According to the police, Pearsall was able to be questioned briefly.
Pearsall (23), who has already been questioned by the police, was drafted by the Niners in April at position 31. Before that, he had last played for the University of Florida. “He's fine. Thank God!!!” wrote Niners receiver Deebo Samuel on Sunday night on X.
