San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot on Saturday during an attempted robbery in the city, authorities said.
Mayor London Breed said in a post on the social platform X that Pearsall was shot in Union Square. She did not immediately provide details about his condition.
“My thoughts are with Ricky and his family at this time,” Ms Breed said.
San Francisco police said in a statement that Pearsall was injured while being robbed and so was the suspect. Both were taken to the hospital, the statement said.
