According to the San Francisco Police
Department, Pearsall was shot after a 17-year-old male tried to
rob him. A struggle ensued, per SFPD, and both were shot.
Pearsall was upgraded to fair condition Sunday and released from
the hospital later that day.
The suspect was arrested Saturday as he attempted to run from
the scene, San Francisco police chief William Scott said. The
alleged gunman also was hospitalized after the shooting - his
condition was not immediately disclosed -- and charges against
him are pending.
Pearsall was signing autographs at an event earlier Saturday
before heading to Union Square, according to ABC 7 San
Francisco.
The 49ers selected Pearsall, a wide receiver who will turn 24 on
Sept. 9, with the 31st pick in the April draft, and he signed a
four-year, $12.5 million guaranteed contract with a $5.9 million
signing bonus.
He was limited in training camp because of shoulder and
hamstring issues, missing all three preseason games. He has a
history of shoulder problems dating to his college days at
Florida.
