Gilroy is fewer than 40 miles down the road from Levi's Stadium and the team's headquarters in Santa Clara. Below is a video of Lynch, courtesy of Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.
"We started today with a moment of silence for the folks down in Gilroy, and everyone affected by the horrific tragedy," Lynch told 49ers.com reporter Keiana Martin during the team's live look-in. "I heard about that as I was going home last night. I think even in a time like this where you're so excited in training camp, and the expectations of a new season, putting pads on for the first day, football players are people too. They have families.
"So Kyle (Shanahan) did a tremendous job addressing our team this morning, and we felt like it was appropriate to do that with our fans. I know this whole community is hurting. We offer up our condolences, our prayers, and we have your backs."
