oh, genuine remorse in that

regard, you know, he's a young boy. he's 17 years old and with, you know, all the media attention, even nationwide media attention. it's a lot, you know, it's a lot for the family to process. and it's a lot for, you know, to be on his shoulders. >> tonight we have new video of that teenage suspect moments after the shooting that injured 49 ers, rookie ricky pearsall. this as his attorney paints a picture of his client as a remorseful child. good evening. i'm ama daetz. we are now getting a clearer picture of just how the attempted robbery and shooting all unfolded saturday afternoon in union square. abc seven news anchor dion lim talked to a woman who was behind pearsall when it all happened, and takes us through the events as laid out in the police report. with the video, you'll see only on seven. >> they just shot the gun three times, so we just ran. >> an exclusive video, time stamped 3:33 p.m. saturday, august 31st. watch as a group of people make a mad dash down geary, running from gunshots that wounded forty-niners wide

receiver ricky pearsall. >> you could see like he was, like, shot right into the chest. >> i just obtained this police report which outlines the details of where pearsall was shot and where the suspect was apprehended. combine that with witness accounts and new surveillance, and the details are dramatic. 15 seconds after the group runs by surveillance shows a figure dressed in all black running to. he drops a gun identified by officers as an unregistered glock, and is clutching his left arm. he walks across the street where he encounters sfpd. according to the report, an officer noticed the young man's arm was bleeding. he then asked, who shot you? do you know who did this? what's your name? the young man didn't respond. he's then taken into custody just at the corner on grant. police were tending to pearsall, who had been shot in the chest. i spoke to a number of witnesses, including a woman named shan, vacationing from manchester, england. she and her friend were just feet away from pearsall when he was shot. we walked out of macy's and we both noticed

the guy next to us because he had two big shopping bags. >> one was like a ramona and one was a big orange louis vuitton bag. >> according to the report, pearsall says the suspect told him, give me everything you got. documents show pearsall was wearing a white gold chain valued at $30,000 and a rolex valued at $9,000 on his wrist. he wore them during an autograph signing earlier in the day. >> we walked just a few meters in front of him and could hear like commotion, and we turned around and there's this, like young, boy with like black trying to grab his bags. >> as shan tells it, that's where she saw the suspect pulling the gun and the ensuing struggle for both pearsall's bags and the weapon. >> he was not giving up without a fight. >> he's brave. in san francisco, dion lim, abc seven news. >> and our team coverage continues now as the suspected 17 year old gunman made his first appearance in juvenile court. abc seven news reporter

tim johns was there and joins us live with those details. tim. >> yeah. this afternoon, the suspect went through what the juvenile equivalent of an arraignment is. he's charged with several different counts. remember some of those, including attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and attempted second degree robbery. the 17 year old accused of shooting san francisco 40 niners. player ricky pearsall appearing in front of a judge for the first time wednesday afternoon. the suspect, who was joined in court by his parents, will continue to be detained in san francisco, according to judge's orders. his attorney, deputy public defender bob dunlap, speaking to the media outside the courthouse following wednesday's proceedings. >> from what little i know that this is completely out of character for him. i do think there are extraneous circumstances that haven't really formed a part of the narrative yet, but i'm still piecing that together. >> dunlap also confirming the teen has another outstanding matter in san joaquin county, although he did not elaborate. he says his client is remorseful following saturday's incident. he's very sorry, genuinely, that this did happen as is his family

and i can say on their behalf as well as on my own behalf that, our thoughts go out to the pearsall family and mr. pearsall himself. the case has garnered significant attention across the country and once again put a spotlight on san francisco's public safety over the past few days, questions have emerged over whether the city's district attorney, brooke jenkins, would seek to move the case from juvenile to adult court. in a 2022 press release, jenkins said she would only try to move cases that involved certain heinous crimes. while the charges her office has filed against the suspect would seem to meet that criteria, jenkins said tuesday her office has not yet made a decision over whether to file that petition. >> i don't walk into cases trying to use them as an example, so i want that to be clear, but it is my job to make sure that people understand that the culture in san francisco is very different than it was two and a half years ago. >> legal experts say getting the case moved would not be an easy task to accomplish, and the ultimate decision would rest with the judge, a potential move, dunlap thinks is unnecessary. despite the high

profile nature of the case. >> the only reason you're here talking to me is because mr. pearsall is a 40 niner. i mean, let's be honest about that. >> the suspect is expected to next appear in court on september 10th for a pretrial conference. but for now, i'm live in the newsroom. tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thank you so much. we move now to developing news out of georgia, where a 14 year old student is in custody accused of opening fire at his high school, killing two students and two teachers. the shooting sent students scrambling for shelter as officers swarmed the campus of apalachee high school outside atlanta. cell phone video shows some of the students as they were being led out of the school. at least nine other people have been taken to hospitals with injuries. investigators say two school resource officers encountered the suspect within minutes and he immediately surrendered. some of the students made frantic calls to family members as the shooting unfolded. >> i said, son, please tell me you're joking. he said, no, mom, i'm not joking. he said, they shooting and they shooting in the school and the shooter is

right across the hall from me. >> the teachers came in and they were like, everybody get on the floor. cover yourselves. like we were all, like, hugging each other. >> investigators say the teenage suspect will be charged with murder and tried as an adult. it is not clear if any of the victims were specifically targeted. in the east bay, the federal oversight of the oakland police department that began more than 20 years ago drags on. and today, a hearing was held in federal court in san francisco to discuss how much longer it might last. abc seven news reporter anser hassan attended that hearing and joins us live with the latest on sir. >> reporter good evening. that hearing is still going on. chief mitchell was the first to go before the judge. he laid it out in very clear terms, saying many of the issues could have been avoided if officers just followed policies that were already in place. but the judge was very clear as well, saying the problem with the oakland police department is a problem in leadership. judge william orrick praised the improvements opd has been making, citing crime statistics are trending downwards, fewer race based

traffic stops and improved data collection and analysis. but the judge says federal oversight won't end until the department is in full compliance and he still has concerns about how internal affairs operates. judge orrick says along with the failure of leadership, there's been a failure of, quote, honesty and transparency, which he called inexcusable and intolerable. the judge believes opd leadership just wanted to sweep more recent problems under the rug, either because they, like the officer or because they wanted to hide issues from the public and the federal monitor. i spoke to civil rights attorney john burris earlier today. he spoke after chief mitchell at the hearing. he also raised concerns about opd's internal affairs. >> the issues that we have not had resolved. it goes to the integrity of the internal affairs investigations, whether we can rely upon them to do that work in a way that's consistent with the rules and applications. and also the question of consistency, of discipline. one of my big issues is how the black officers are treated

within the department. are they fairly and consistently evaluated in the same way that white officers are other officers? so >> chief mitchell told the judge that he has set up a new executive team, and that he's been meeting with the city weekly. but the judge says it's not working. he's suggesting reforms that may include internal affairs reporting directly to the police chief. the hearing continues. we'll have the very latest coming up at six, reporting live. anser hassan abc seven news. >> okay. thank you. san francisco mayor london breed is gaining extra cash for her reelection bid. billionaire michael bloomberg. michael bloomberg, excuse me. donated $1 million to a committee supporting breed. the donation is one of the largest this election season. breeds. major challengers are former supervisor and interim mayor mark farrell. nonprofit founder daniel lurie, and supervisors aaron peskin and asha safai. all right, let's get to our weather and the heat. you still felt it out there today. this is a live look at the conditions right now. there is a heat advisory in

we are expecting still moderate to poor air quality. but on thursday which is tomorrow, moderate air quality. i'll be back with a look at how much longer you can expect this hot weather to last, and what's in store for the weekend coming up. >> all right. sounds good. thank you. sandhya coming up, creating laws that keep up with technology. we're going to tell you about the bill sitting on governor newsom's desk, aimed at protecting your image and likeness long after you're gone. but first, after the break, a shooting spree in monterey county kills dozens of animals. we're going to hear from neighbors who heard the gunfire

animals, different types of animals were killed in this incident. we've got goats and rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens. a small horse. and unfortunately, all of these animals were killed during this incident. >> this happened around 330 yesterday morning in prunedale. that's an unincorporated community between salinas and watsonville. investigators responded to reports of the shooting. they say hundreds of rounds were fired, triggering a shelter in place and swat response. >> the gunfire started down there. >> and at that point, yeah, we just hunkered down. i had my wife and my kid get down on the floor, away from a window as low as we could get. >> deputies arrested 38 year old vicente arroyo. they say he was armed with a large cache of guns, including rifles, shotguns, handguns and an assault weapon. he now faces charges of cruelty to animals, vandalism, criminal threats and illegal possession and use of an assault weapon. artificial intelligence is growing quickly, and laws to regulate it have lagged behind. but now there's a

bill on the governor's desk that would require consent before using ai to recreate a dead performer's likeness. abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes explains how it could affect people even if they aren't famous. >> artificial intelligence can make it easy to impersonate famous figures, type whatever you want her to say and type whatever you want her to say and voila! >> the rapidly developing technology is leading to new concerns. public figures and performers are worried that deepfakes and other fabricated videos could negatively impact their legacy after they're gone. >> something we're going to probably have to start putting in our wills because we have to remember our likeness belongs to our own estate, alive or not. >> the use of ai to recreate performers has long been an issue in hollywood. that's been the basis of strikes and much outcry. sag-aftra has had a collective bargaining agreement in place, but a bill just passed by the california senate over the weekend takes things a step further. >> ab 1836 is specifically aimed

at providing postmortem right of publicity, protection when it comes to digital replicas. >> joseph lawlor, a trademark attorney at haynes boone, said only around half of the states provide protections for performers likeness after they die. even so, he said, growing technology needs to be updated in existing right of publicity laws. >> digital replicas of the term is used in ab 1836. aren't discussed in any of these historical right of publicity law. it's not something that people were envisioning. >> the bill passed the senate and is now waiting on a signature from governor gavin newsom as his bill 2602, which works to protect performers who are living from having an employer use an ai version of them without permission. sag-aftra has praised the passing of both bills, but lawlor said these bills can have wider impacts than these laws can apply to individuals that aren't looking to put out a hit record or star in a film, simply because a lot of people's lives are out there on social media. robert chestnut is the vice

president of the san francisco norcal sag-aftra union. though he couldn't comment on the union's behalf as a performer, he says the bills are a step in the right direction. >> it's just a wonderful start, but we have so much, so much more to do in the south bay. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> coming up, it started yesterday afternoon and now a fire burning in fresno county has grown to more than 11,000 acres. we will have the latest on the evacuation orders. and there is now one more place you can get. abc news anytime, anywhere. yes. now you can get abc news live on disney plus. around the clock, seven days a week. and of course, that includes the abc news presidential debate live. next tuesday, get abc news live anywhere you stream. abc seven news and now
