The news of 49ers rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall being shot during an attempted robbery in San Francisco led a mayoral candidate for the city to take a shot at his incumbent opponent. 

Mark Farrell, the former interim mayor who is running for the position again this year, took aim at current San Francisco Mayor London Breed when commenting on Pearsall having been shot in Union Square downtown on Saturday. 

As someone who has had a zero-tolerance approach toward crime in the city, Farrell believes things need to change in City Hall for San Francisco to be safe again.

"Our city has suffered from a tragic series of gun shootings: a Galileo high student shot while Breed partied in Chicago, a young girl in Crocker-Amazon with life-threatening wounds, and now 49ers first round draft pick Ricky Pearsall stuck with gunfire during an attempted robbery in Union Square," Farrell tweeted.

Breed confirmed the several reports that came out on Saturday, stating that Pearsall, the 49ers’ first-round pick out of Florida back in April at the NFL Draft, had been shot during an attempted robbery.
