SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Keion White underwent surgery after being shot in the ankle at a post-Super Bowl event early Monday morning.<\/p>\n

San Francisco police say they responded to calls for the shooting on the 1700 block of Mission Street around 4 a.m. Monday.<\/p>\n

ABC7 Eyewitness News’ partners at the San Francisco Standard report<\/a> the defensive end was hosting a party at Dahlia’s – a bar and nightclub.<\/p>\n

They report that at some point, White got into an argument involving rapper “Lil Baby.” That’s when White was shot in the ankle.<\/p>\n

SFPD said in a statement that “the victim was injured when shots were fired by an unknown suspect.”<\/p>\n

White underwent successful surgery Monday afternoon, according to the team. His injuries are not considered to be career-threatening. The Niners said they “will provide further updates when appropriate.”<\/p>\n

News of the shooting has sent shockwaves through the Bay Area which had just finished hosting a successful Super Bowl hours before.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Any violent incident in our city is unacceptable, and I’m hoping Keion recovers quickly. I’ve spoken with SFPD and 49ers leadership- we are all grateful to our SFPD officers for their quick response. As always, I will continue working with San Francisco law enforcement to ensure our neighborhoods and our residents are safe.”<\/p>\n

On Monday morning, White took to his own social media to post a photo from the stands at the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Comments on that post show an outpouring of support from fans after word had gotten out.<\/p>\n

On the streets of the city near where the shooting happened, people who live there are also processing the news.<\/p>\n

Elina Kang says she was woken up by the police activity outside her apartment.<\/p>\n

“My window is right by my bed so I saw lights. I think that’s why I woke up at first,” said Kang.<\/p>\n

Kang said she only moved to the area last week but knows it’s had its problems with safety in the past.<\/p>\n

“It kind of seems par for the course. I’m not entirely like how could this happen here,” said Kang.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco Police Department says the case remains open and no arrests have been made.<\/p>\n

White is the second 49ers player to be shot in the past 18 months, after wide receiver Ricky Pearsall who was shot in the chest<\/a> during an armed robbery in Union Square.<\/p>\n
