Police officer reveals scary moments after 49ers’ Ricky Pearsall shooting: ‘Be strong’
NY Post
One police officer was critical in the moments after Ricky Pearsall was shot.
Pearsall, a rookie wide receiver whom the 49ers drafted in the first round this year, was shot in the chest by a 17-year-old during an attempted robbery in San Francisco on Saturday.
Sgt. Joelle Harrell from the San Francisco Police Department was nearby during the incident and sprinted to the scene after she heard gunshots, she told the San Francisco Chronicle.
She found Pearsall shirtless and covered in blood and quickly sprung into action.
Harrell instructed another officer to call an ambulance, according to the report, and began pressing Pearsall’s shirt into his wound in the front while pressing her cap into his wound in the back.
“I was using my hand for the front just to create a suction so the air wouldn’t enter the wound,” Harrell told the outlet.
Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
