Ricky Pearsall, a rookie wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, was shot in the chest during a robbery attempt in Union Square on Saturday while heading to an autograph signing. The incident occurred when a suspect attempted to steal Pearsall's Rolex watch, resulting in a struggle where both Pearsall and the suspect were shot. Pearsall is currently in stable condition, as confirmed by Mayor London Breed, who also stated that the suspect is in custody. Witnesses captured video footage of Pearsall being transported to an ambulance, where he appeared to be moving slowly but not overly distressed. Pearsall, a first-round pick in April, was previously dealing with a shoulder injury and his availability for upcoming games remains uncertain. The incident has raised concerns about violent crime in the city, prompting statements from city officials on the need for safety.
