The player, who was shot in the chest after a gun went off during a struggle between him and his assailant, was signing autographs for fans at an event at the time of the incident.
The would-be robber was also injured in the struggle, and they were both taken to hospital.
“Scott said Saturday night that there was “no indication” that the suspect had targeted Pearsall because he is a professional football player and added that there was one gun involved with multiple shots fired during the attempted robbery,” ESPN’s Nick Wagner added. “Scott said that the suspect was acting alone “as far as we know” but said that the many surveillance cameras in the area would be checked as the investigation continues.”
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins has revealed that a decision on the charges will be made by Wednesday, given that the suspect is a juvenile.
