Former NFL player Myles Jack was arrested in Texas after firing a gun inside a home, police said Wednesday.

Jack, 30, was booked on one felony count of deadly conduct-discharging a firearm and one misdemeanor count of firing a gun in a certain municipality, the Frisco Police Department said in a press release.

Officers responded to the residence in the north Dallas suburb around 5 a.m. Tuesday for a welfare check, according to police. When cops arrived, they heard gunshots from inside the home.

Authorities immediately established a perimeter surrounding the house and evacuated several nearby residences. As officers waited at the perimeter, they watched someone break a second-floor window and fall out of the home.

Cops found Jack on the ground suffering from non-life-threatening injuries and transported him to a local hospital, Frisco police said. Officers then searched the home and found no one else inside.

While additional details of Jack’s incident were not released, there’s a history of former NFL players battling mental health issues and firing weapons. Former New York Jet Phillip Adams fatally shot six people before dying by suicide at a South Carolina home in 2021. Exams found he was suffering from CTE, a brain disease common among former football players.

Jack played eight seasons in the NFL from 2016-2023, the first six with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the last two with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After leaving the league, he purchased a Texas minor league hockey team, the Allen Americans.
