For the second time in as many weeks, the Falcons are dealing with tragic news to family members.

According to FOX 10 in Alabama, Phillip Jones, the brother of Falcons star Julio Jones, was shot in an incident in Gulf Shores.

The 31-year-old Jones was flown to a hospital in Pensacola, Fla., and lost his arm because of damage from the gunshot wound.

The Gulf Shores Police Department arrested 53-year-old George Bennett Sutton for a felony count of assault in the first degree, though the investigation continues.

The Falcons are still grieving over the shooting death of Tyrone Moore, the half-brother of Falcons wideout Roddy White.

Our thoughts remain with both families.
