Myles Jack, a former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker, is facing firearms charges after being arrested Tuesday in Frisco, Texas.
According to a Frisco Police Department news release, officers responded to a welfare check at 5:40 a.m. Tuesday and heard gunshots from inside a residence. Officers set up a perimeter and evacuated nearby residences. They then observed a second-story window break and the suspect, who was later identified as Jack, climb out and fall to the ground, according to the release.
Jack, 30, was taken into custody at 7:12 a.m. and transported to a local hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
No one else was inside the residence, police said.
Denton County Sheriff’s Office charged Jack with deadly conduct-discharge of a firearm, a third-degree felony. He also was charged with a misdemeanor for discharging a firearm.
Jack spent two seasons with the Steelers, playing 18 games from 2022-23. He made 121 tackles and had one sack.
He also played six seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who drafted him 36th overall in 2016.
