A happy day! A 49ers draft pick, shot in a robbery attempt, is going to be OK!

I don't watch football as closely as I used to. But I am still a San Francisco 49ers fan "in the background." I am glad that the 49ers wide receiver, who was shot in a robbery attempt here, is going to be OK. Have you ever been shot in a robbery attempt? I have had guns held on me, but I have never actually been shot. Life in the US can be weird.

I stopped watching football when Joe Namath retired. I'm glad he was never shot. I've never been shot in a robbery attempt. I've never seen a robbery attempt. The Republicans keep talking about crime but I never gat to see it.

Same here. I hear from Trump it's everywhere. But I've never seen anybody mugged.

That happened in DC a few years ago..one of their draft picks got shot in a car jacking attempt, in the legs nonetheless. He is a half back. Amazingly, he made a full recovery and was back on the field again, in a matter of weeks.

@TheHorse doubt, probably just some cheap pistol. They were kids who did it of course.

Glad to hear that. Maybe it was a .22.

Glad he is going to be alright. Been a 49er fan since the early Joe Montana days. Hope he makes a full recovery quickly.

They have not identified the the shooter. I gather he is only 17.

The first time l heard gunshots ( except for in the movies) was during an election season. No, they weren't shooting at me.
