post. yesterday, his mom said the bullet that hit him missed all of his vital organs. abc seven news reporter j.r stone spoke with doctors at stanford and at ucsf who specialize in these types of injuries. >> 40 niners wide receiver ricky pearsall was taken by ambulance to the hospital saturday, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. the area opposite his heart. he was released sunday, according to the niners. hours after his mother said online that the bullet hit him in the chest and exited through his back. >> if the bullet actually, you know, goes, you know, transects the chest, you know, it goes from the front to the back, you know, the chance of having a very serious injury is very high. and so, you know, frankly, you know, this football player was very lucky if indeed, you know, he was able to be discharged from the hospital, you know, within 24 hours. >> that's stanford's dean winslow, who was deployed to the middle east six times after nine over 11 as a flight surgeon and hospital commander in the air

national guard. he is not one of pearsall's doctors and has only seen the images we have seen, but winslow is very familiar with bullet wounds to the chest, and certainly this is the kind of injury that sadly, we would see commonly. >> you know, in soldiers, airmen, marines wounded in combat in iraq and afghanistan during my time when i served there. >> ucsf's jahan fahmy is medical director of the emergency department, also not one of pearsall's doctors, but well versed in injuries caused by guns in general. >> being shot somewhere in the torso in the chest area is a very high risk injury, you know, the biggest thing you worry about is an injury to the heart or one of the major arteries that comes off of the heart. usually those are either instantly fatal or very life threatening. >> the two doctors add that injuries to the lungs and spine can also be a huge danger, with the chest related shooting. pearsall's release, though, leads both to believe that the

injuries are likely not as severe, which could, and i repeat, could mean a recovery lasting weeks versus many months. doctor fahmy, going so far as saying a release from the hospital this quickly is rare. >> it's the minority of patients who can say that they have had that experience, that they've been shot in the chest and been able to walk out. a day later, i think that's extremely fortunate. >> j.r. stone abc seven news. >> doctor fahmy says he's also concerned about the psychological impact of this act of violence, and recommends treatment for that as well. make sure you stay with abc seven news for the latest on this developing story. you can get updates any time on abc seven news.com or on your abc seven news bay area app. >> police are still searching for a driver who ran away from police in san francisco after evading a traffic stop in oakland's clinton neighborhood. opd says officers attempted to stop the driver for a traffic violation just before 5:00 yesterday, right near the
