Rob Gronkowski weighs in on Ricky Pearsall shooting
Former NFL star Rob Gronkowski talks to Fox News Digital about the incident involving San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall.
The 17-year-old suspect accused of shooting San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall in an alleged robbery attempt was “very sorry,” his attorney said Wednesday after an arraignment.
Deputy Public Defender Bob Dunlap, the teen’s attorney, made the remarks to reporters after the hearing.

“He’s genuinely very sorry that this did happen, as is his family, and I can say on their behalf, as well as on my own behalf, our thoughts go out to the Pearsall family and Mr. Pearsall himself. So there is genuine, genuine remorse in that regard,” Dunlap said. “He is a young boy.”
The teen, from Tracy, California, was charged with attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic weapon and attempted second-degree robbery. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins added several gun-related charges on Wednesday.
It has yet to be determined whether the teen will be charged as an adult. Jenkins’ office said they needed more time to investigate and will petition the court to transfer the case to an adult court if possible. California law prevents prosecutors from charging a minor as an adult without judicial approval.
