Relatives of Atlanta Falcons star Julio Jones were injured in a shooting at an Alabama trailer park over the weekend, police said Monday.
Four people were shot at the Magnolia Springs home after an incident involving Jones’ relatives. Baldwin County Sheriff Hoss Mack said at a press conference the four wounded were in some way related to the Falcons star, but it wasn’t clear whether they were Jones’ cousins or nephews, according to AL.com.
“It is my understanding there is some relation to him just from various family members,” Mack said.

Two pistols, a rifle and marijuana were found in the home. Marijuana was also recovered in a vehicle authorities believe was used by the trio. The motive behind the shooting was unclear.

“We’re still trying to gather the facts of what occurred,” Mack said. “At this time no arrests have made.”
Jones played in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, but was forced to skip out on his media availability due to a “family emergency,” the Journal-Constitution reported.
