Sad news out of Dallas this evening in the aftermath of the Cowboys' indoor practice facility collapsing on Saturday.
The team has issued a press release saying that scouting assistant Rich Behm has been paralyzed from the waist down. He underwent surgery last night and remains in stable condition at Parkland Hospital.
Per The Dallas-Morning News, Behm moved from the Cowboys' video department to scouting a few years ago. He is 33-years-old.
Two other members of the Cowboys' staff are also still hospitalized.
From the team's press release:
Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis (43) sustained a fracture of one of his cervical vertebrae (C-7/T-1). He remains in stable condition without paralysis at Parkland Hospital. Surgery to stabilize the fracture is scheduled for Monday morning.
Assistant athletic trainer, Greg Gaither (35) sustained a fracture to the tibia and fibula in his right leg which was surgically repaired last night at Baylor University Medical Center. He should be released later this week.
Below is a video of the windstorm causing the facility to collapse.

He is not 33-years-old, he is 33 years old. You have the grammar of a typical Cowboys fan.— goodgirldaddy- Sheil isn't a Cowboys fan, but I'm glad someone had the clarity to put such a small thing as a man losing the ability to walk into perspective by exposing the great travesty of a few superfluous hyphens. By the way, this is a blog, not edited copy.— steverawthar

- Man, this is terrible. Truly sad news.— coatesvillain
- Thank God, Steve, you saved me the trouble. GGD, your handle is creepy and your perspective is horribly skewed.— Nutburgers
- As much as I dislike the Cowboys I wouldn't wish this on any team. Hope everyone recovers, so we can beat them fair and square, with no excuses.— trizot
- This a sad and unfortunate accident. Thankfully no one was fatally injured. My thoughts are with him and his family. Team allegiances and devote desire to use proper grammar should be forgotten when dealing with such an event.— BadgerVMD

- Glad no one was killed.— dragoon6
- It's ironic that the structure was sold by an Allentown company. Tragic though.— tndmrtr
- The question is did jerry Jones cut corners on the training facility and risk his people so he could build a bigger palace?— dutchman
Terrible tragedy. Behm and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.— Richard Saunders- God was angry that he couldn't watch his team practice.— joe$
