gloria. >> thank you. the forty-niners returned to practice, and their first game of the season is just five days away. but that was not the focal point as we got to hear from the team about what happened to ricky pearsall. it started with general manager john lynch addressing the media, along with stars brandon aiyuk and trent williams, who just ended their holdouts. other players shared their reaction about how jarring it is to have a teammate shot. abc seven sports director larry beil has the story. >> we got to hear from the forty-niners about exactly what happened to ricky pearsall, and there was an overwhelming sense of relief that he is going to be okay and will be able to play at some point this season. >> by the grace of god, ricky pearsall is here with the team and doing really well. >> we've learned a little more about what was going on on saturday. pearsall did an autograph session and general manager john lynch says the rookie wideout then went shopping for luggage for upcoming road trips. the niners also held a party that night for the team, which pearsall would

have attended. lynch says he ended up making an appearance virtually from the hospital. >> kind of a cool moment. we were able to pipe ricky into the party and he facetimed the entire group and man, that show of love and respect was was a real special moment for our team. the overall experience proved to be really sobering for the entire franchise, starting with the front office. you never love to get any call with regards to your players where they're in danger or peril and man their earliest calls that i received were were extremely scary. >> wide receiver brandon aiyuk just rejoined the team after a lengthy holdout. he played with pearsall briefly in college at arizona state, a very traumatic experience for all involved. >> just super happy that he's alive. we're able to see him and talk to him. >> this may sound a bit miraculous, but pearsall was at the 40 niners facility on monday, working out in the gym,

and some of the players got to see him and talk with him and just hugged him and just hugged him and just just let him know, man. >> just take it at his own pace. >> as soon as i saw him, i smiled, man, like i just, i smiled, went and wrapped him up, hugged him. >> offensive lineman trent williams, who just ended his holdout, says what happened to his teammate was one of the motivating factors for him returning to the niners. williams had this message just staying in the moment and realizing that, you know, your life is more important than anything, that you can wake up and put on. >> that was larry beil reporting. pearsall is going to miss at least the first month of the season. lynch said pearsall is dealing with other minor injuries, and it just didn't seem possible that he would be ready to go. and again, a reminder the niners kick off their new season against the new york jets on monday at levi's stadium. you can watch it right here on abc seven. our coverage begins at 5:00. >> a bad crash in san francisco ended with one driver dead. another hurt and two cars going off of a cliff. firefighters say

reported a 266% increase in rental car thefts. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins says those stolen rental cars are frequently used to commit other crimes, like organized retail theft. >> oftentimes, when they are driving vehicles through the front doors of our business stores, they're not driving their own vehicles through those doors. they're driving stolen rental cars because they don't mind damaging those cars. >> she claims cutting the time down will make it easier for police to do their jobs. once that car is entered into the system as stolen, we will have another technological way to make sure that sfpd can do what it needs to pull over that car and make an arrest in that situation if necessary. >> this information officers will be used to immediately apprehend suspects. >> san francisco deputy police chief derrick jackson says if the change is made, it would also make the city's 400 newly installed license plate readers more effective, with the ability to better track stolen rental vehicles, we can be more

effective in identifying criminal suspects and to continue to keep driving down crime. governor newsom has until the end of september to sign or veto the bill in san francisco. lena howland, abc seven news the mayor of antioch has proposed a new idea as the city looks to tackle the homelessness crisis. >> mayor lamar hernandez thorpe wants to update antioch's no camping ordinance that was passed back in 1996. it mandates that no one can camp in a tent or car, but currently applies only to city parks and recreational facilities. the mayor wants to expand that to include public waterways, trails, and plazas that would give city service providers a greater ability to offer help to people living in dangerous encampments. >> antioch is not going to be a dump site for the bay area's problems, so i would encourage other cities to do take the same actions that we have taken with the hotel and other services that we have. >> antioch has requested more funding from the state to

increase motel capacity for its transitional housing programs. >> san francisco mayor london breed is gaining some extra cash for her reelection bid. billionaire michael bloomberg donated $1 million to a committee supporting breed. the donation is one of the largest in this election season. breed's major challengers are former supervisor and interim mayor mark farrell, nonprofit founder daniel lurie, supervisors aaron peskin and asha safai. >> the u.s. open is making headlines for more than just tennis. the tournament's signature drink is expected to top $10 million in sales since its creation by the end of the week. the honey deuce is a mix of vodka, lemonade and raspberry liqueur with melon balls on top. the drink came out in 2007, and it now costs $23, a $1 increase from last year. it's so popular. the u.s. open has multiple stands exclusively serving the honey deuce with the cocktail mix on tap. it looks pretty

table for certain types of crime. and so attempted murder is included in the type of crime that i have said this office will potentially consider for whether or not we think it's appropriate to seek to transfer a juvenile to adult court, jenkins says. >> attempted murder is the strongest charge that could have been filed in this case. and while the first court appearance is scheduled for this afternoon, jenkins says the decision on whether or not to request a transfer to an adult court will take at least two weeks to be made. live in the studio, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you. gloria. ricky pearsall is expected to miss at least the first four games of the forty-niners season yesterday. the team had their first practice since the shooting and say they are in a better head space after having seen him. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes was there and has more on how they're feeling. if you swease an immense feeling of relief and excitement among the forty-niners tuesday, both on the practice field and in the locker room. >> bunch of energy in the

building. >> it all comes after they got to see their teammate ricky pearsall, for the first time since he was shot, and just hugged him. >> just hugged him and just just let him know. man just take it at his own pace. >> and right now that's what 40 niners general manager john lynch said they're allowing him to do for now, putting pearsall on the non-football injury list. >> we had to we had to act quickly with that decision. i wish, i wish we had some more time to make it, but ultimately we felt the number one thing we had to be concerned with was ricky's well-being. >> but according to lynch's update, pearsall may not be on that list for too long. >> it's nothing short of miraculous that he came out of this as good as he did. >> lynch, who visited pearsall at the hospital, confirmed that pearsall did not suffer any nerve or organ damage during tuesday's press conference, lynch also sent a big shout out to the sfpd sergeant, joel harrell, who was on hand to help pearsall until paramedics arrived. >> she was there for him in a real rough time, and i know how appreciative ricky is of that.

we're appreciative to the entire police department. >> pearsall first got to talk with his teammates saturday via facetime at a training camp party. >> we had a team party that was scheduled when i got to the hospital and visited with ricky. it was one of the first things he said. mr. lynch, what's going on? you know, i would really like everyone to go to that party. and i'd also like to talk to some of my teammates. i said, ricky, you take care of yourself. but, you know, kind of a cool moment. we were able to pipe ricky into the party and he facetimed the entire group. >> still, the team tells us nothing beats seeing him in person. >> as soon as i saw him, i smiled like i just. i smiled, went in depth him up, hugged him. >> the shooting that injured pearsall comes just as the team is overcoming some turbulent times. late last week it was reported that wide receiver brandon aiyuk finally reached a deal with the team after high stakes contract negotiations. now, tuesday, it was announced that star left tackle trent williams is finalizing a new deal after a prolonged holdout, with aiyuk and williams on board and pearsall recovery, the team says they're ready for their first game of the season monday
