CNN) -- An air-supported roof over the Dallas Cowboys' practice field collapsed during a heavy thunderstorm Saturday afternoon, leaving 12 people injured, one critically, authorities said.

About 70 people, including more than two dozen of the team's rookies, were in the facility when it was blown down shortly before 3:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. ET), team officials said.

The video they have on this is wild, the lights start shaking and everyone initially thinks it's no big deal, then the canopy collapsed on one end and it brought the rest of it down.

One of the scouts, Rich Behm, is now paralyzed from the waist down, while the Special Teams coach, DeCamillis, who just came over from Jacksonville, will be having surgery for 2 broken vertebrae in his back. He may already had surgery by the time I write this.

Think what you may of the Cowboys, love em or hate em, these guys need our prayers, regardless of what team you support.

I wouldn't say its useless, but sad is the word that comes to mind...

To see someone paralyzed is a shame then to lose our new special teams coach to massive injury just tops the cake...

Hopefully DeCamillis comes back soon and it does not impact him on the field with player interaction.
