State law prohibits Jenkins from charging minors as adults, but she said if her investigation reveals the teen suspect should be tried in adult court, she will ask a judge to decide on a transfer, but it’s too early for her to make that decision.

San Francisco Police Officer Frank Harrell said Piersall was walking to his car alone shortly after 3:30 p.m. local time Saturday after shopping in Union Square when the teenage suspect attempted to rob him after seeing the 49ers rookie wide receiver’s expensive watch.

Further information indicates that the two fought and Piersall was shot in the chest at close range and the bullet exited through the back, while the 17-year-old teenage gunman was also shot in the arm before being apprehended by officers about a block away from the scene.  ( thaisiambet )
