Former NFL player Chip Banks is reportedly in serious condition after he was shot in Atlanta on Wednesday, according to TMZ Sports.

One man was pronounced dead at the scene while Banks and the other man were taken to the hospital. The two were "alert, conscious and breathing" when they were transported to the hospital.
