According to Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 in Sacramento, Pearsall was shot through the chest after he struggled with the suspect for the gun.
“Per SFPD: 49ers Ricky Pearsall was shot through the chest in a robbery attempt over a Rolex,” Cunningham wrote on X. “He was headed to a signing event on Geary & Market. There was a struggle for the gun. Both Ricky & the suspect were shot. Both parties stable at SF General Hospital.”
SFPD Director of Strategic Communications called that shooting “tragic” and unacceptable.”

This is a breaking story and will be updated with more information when available.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.

Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.
