larry beil is here to kick off our coverage. larry, what a big night for the 40 niners. a chance to start again and fix some things from last time. >> absolutely. trying to get back to the super bowl after losing to the chiefs. big problem though right off the bat. here is we just learned seconds ago that christian mccaffrey is not playing tonight for the 40 niners. we talked about this at 3:00 because of the calf injury. calf slash achilles. will he go. will he not go. he's been saying all along he's going to play. except he was ruled out of the game. they don't want to take a chance. so that's already a setback for the 40 niners. now we all remember the disappointment in vegas. they lost in overtime to the chiefs. only one team this century has lost the super bowl then won the lombardi trophy the following year. that was the patriots in 2018, then in 19. so history not on the niners side here. now the off season as you know was filled with contract issues. brandon aiyuk was just minutes away from actually being traded to pittsburgh before ultimately deciding to sign his new deal. trent williams took even longer. the man regarded as the best left tackle in football got his contract issues resolved last

week. but how rusty are these guys? they've had no preseason to get in sync. that being said, the niners roster is loaded. i talked with the man who's going to call tonight's game here on abc seven, joe buck, about the niners off season and those super bowl or bust expectations. >> i mean it's been chaotic. but they kind of got in under the finish line with at least the deals that they had to get done obviously. and they're so well coached and they've got such a great game plan each and every week. i mean, i work with a guy in troy aikman that has said if he took over a team, he would give however many draft picks it would cost to get kyle shanahan to be his head coach, he's that good at putting a game plan together. so it's been enough of the tease for the 40 niners. in my mind, they're still the team to beat, especially in the nfc. and, they just got to get that one more play, that one more score to get a lombardi trophy. and i think they'll be there at the end when the super bowl is in new orleans.

>> let's hope so because we'll be there as well. let's get down to levi's stadium now. nbc seven's chris alvarez joins us. a little bit of a shock here with this mccaffrey news. >> yeah, yeah larry you referenced it at 3:00 and we didn't know if he was going to go. he said he was going to go. but tonight you know what. why risk it? it's a very long season trying to get to new orleans. so christian mccaffrey is out with a calf. we'll wait and see what that means for the next week and the weeks forward. but he is out tonight. a big blow for the niners. but they have plenty of weapons. you got brandon aiyuk back in the fold. trent williams deebo samuel the list goes on and on for brock purdy. now another special moment today. frank gore, the longtime 40 niner. he was inducted in the team hall of fame. we had a chance to speak with him one on one before his big honor. he's wearing a nice red jacket. >> first team took a chance on me and i gave them everything i had for all ten years i was here, so i'm blessed. i'm so happy to be a part of the san francisco 40 niners hall of fame, especially with some of the guys who came through this

organization. a lot of great top guys like jerry rice, ronnie lott, patrick willis, brian young. and now you add frank gore in the same. so it's a it's a great, great, great feeling and blessed. >> run me through when you got the call that you were going to the 40 niners on draft when you got drafted, >> i was with my family just waiting and but i talked to scott mcclellan during the process, and he told me he couldn't take me with the first round pick. he couldn't take me with the second round pick because my injuries, and he was like, he told me the fifth pick. trust me. i'll be calling you. but, you know, i heard that from, you know, other teams that they'll call me in the second round and when the second round came, they didn't get the call. i didn't get the call. so i was, you know, just waiting. and when the 65th pick came, you know, he was right. he was, you know, he stuck to his word. he drafted me with that pick. and once i got that call, i told myself this man was real with me. so i'm going to give this organization

everything i got. >> last one for you on the way out, when you look back at your career, what are you most proud of, >> just how doable i was. how doable i was. because man, people thought i wanted to be able to be in this league no more than two years. and i proved them wrong, i was able to play 16 years and i had a blessed, great career. >> great to catch up with frank gore as he gets honored tonight. now, a really cool moment here. ricky pearsall, we all know, is surviving from that gunshot wound. the officer saved his life right there joel harrell is here. the 49 ers invited him or her excuse me and her husband to the game. i had a great interview with her moments ago. she says all of her training kicked in and she kept ricky calm. his training of being an athlete and listening helped him get through the moment. and she's a huge 40 niners fan. she's here for the first time and she's waiting to meet ricky. he i saw him walking around the field. it's his birthday. he looks good. he dabbed up some of

his teammates, but so good to talk to her. a true life hero ahead of this game. it puts a lot of things into perspective. larry, as we send it back to you, ricky pearsall is good. hey, christian mccaffrey's hurt. he's going to be okay eventually, but that's the real stuff that changes lives. and she did a great job, helping ricky out. we can't thank her enough for what she did in her service. >> you're right, chris, i mean, it was bad enough the shooting. but when you hear that only two out of 100 people typically survive a gunshot wound to the chest, i mean that as you pointed out, is life saving work by that officer, from tailback to tailback. with christian mccaffrey out, we're going to see jordan mason, who was the backup and got a lot of work in the preseason. he's big, strong, rugged guy. but again, you know you're losing the nfl offensive player of the year last season in christian mccaffrey. and hopefully it's only a one week thing. but you know they're going to be cautious. it's a long long season. and you don't want to risk. you don't want to risk your you know your best

weapon. let's say in the first game when you think look we've got to be they hope to be playing until february. that's a long time from now. >> and they got a lot of talent on the field. yeah. >> it's not it's not like there's only one guy who couldn't do a thing. you know they got a lot of people who can score. so we'll have to watch that. >> it'll be fun to watch us against aaron rodgers, that's for sure. >> absolutely yes yes. all right. >> well the 40 niners faithful are certainly ready and fired up. and prepped for the game. >> they are fired up. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey is live in the levi's stadium parking lot, says tailgating is in full swing. dustin, how's it going out there? >> you know dan and kristen, it is going fantastic. it's monday night football, of course, we're all fired up and ready to kick off this 2024 season for the 40 niners. and who else is as excited these fans that are strolling in right here behind me? the 40 niners faithful. there's been a lot of talk this week about what's happening before the game, the tailgating policy from our vantage point, things to seem to go pretty smooth. overall, not a lot of enforcement actually happened on

some of those rules that fans were so concerned about. but bottom line was, once they got into these parking lots, that all went out the door and they were just ready for some football. the levi's stadium parking lots were empty at 11 monday morning, but the 40 niners party had already starte. hey, let's go niners. >> i've been here since 4:00 in line, so 4:00 this morning. >> yeah. my goodness, i'm the first. >> i'm the first one here. why? because that's important to get here. absolutely. yeah. it is never too early to start cooking right. >> oh never too early. >> we started at 830 this morning. we're going to go hard to 515. >> the kickoff concerns over new tailgating policies didn't stop the fun in the south bay, but some fans were still unhappy. >> the whole part of having early tailgating is to get in, get your spot, set your stuff up, get the food going, get everything ready now that's a waste. >> we're done. exactly. >> because a lot of our fans

friends don't have their own tailgating, and they'll be directed away. >> the 40 niners say directed parking rules are not new simply being enforced. this year. also starting this year, loud music taking up multiple spaces with tents and choosing where to park won't be allowed. it's angered many, but some understand. >> some groups come in and they take up, you know, they have one parking pass and they take up ten tents. they put ten tents up so that loses the well, loses revenue for them, but for the niners. but also somebody paid, somebody else paid for those parking spots. >> the 40 niners announced parking lots opened at 145, but we were there when cars filed in at 1 p.m. despite the changes, complaints and confusion, the feeling of football still took precedent. hey, go niners! a new year and a new hope for the faithful. the road to the super bowl starts now, and it begins here at levi's stadium. >> for me, it's my first monday night football game, so prime time i mean, you can't say much more than that. i mean, we're

was raising above his head. officers attempted to deescalate the situation, giving the suspect commands to drop his weapon, but the suspect did not comply. >> joseph says the suspect then pointed his gun at officers, causing four officers to shoot him. each of those officers has at least three years of experience. the suspect was taken to the hospital where he later died. jose rodriguez was helping out at the restaurant when the shooting happened. i heard when they asked him to drop the gun and that's it, because i was back there in the restaurant with the girls, the waiters and the cook to try to make them calm down. he says while he didn't personally know the suspect, the man was a regular at the shopping center. chief joseph says he had been drinking at the restaurant earlier that day. >> we are learning that the suspect had estranged himself from his family. he was drinking heavily and had made comments regarding suicidal ideations. by all accounts, we believe the suspect was determined to have

an armed confrontation with police and unfortunately shot a bystander during his self-created melee. >> san jose mayor matt mehan saying he's grateful for the swift actions of officers that may have saved lives. >> i believe that the reason that this was not a much worse tragedy than it already is because our officers responded quickly and courageously and did what they needed to do to ensure the safety of others who were there. >> lena howland abc seven news. >> we continue to follow the investigation underway after the shooting of san francisco 40 niners wide receiver ricky pearsall. abc seven news has learned the teenage suspect in this case brought a gun to school the week prior to the attack. a report from the tracy police department shows details about an incident on august 21st at stein high school. that's an alternative school for troubled students. the student's name and personal information are redacted or obscured from the
