“San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall released from hospital

ON THE WAY TO DETROIT: “San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall released from hospital after being shot during attempted robbery,” LA Times reports, with the addition of:

(San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott) said the investigation is ongoing, but the suspect appears to have acted alone. He did not identify the suspect or confirm that Pearsall’s Rolex was the target of the attempted robbery.

Dist. Atty. Brooke Jenkins said her office expects to make a decision on charges by the middle of next week. Because the suspect is a minor, she said, the case will be filed in juvenile court, at least initially.

The shooting is expected to fuel a narrative that conservative pundits and politicians have been pushing for years, portraying San Francisco as a city overrun by crime and homelessness, which they blame on the failures of Democratic leadership.
