We are saddened to pass along this latest news from the Dallas Cowboys. The team's PR department just released the following:

Scouting assistant Rich Behm (33) sustained a fracture to the Thoracic spine (10th Thoracic vertebrae). The fracture caused a severing of the spinal cord at that level causing permanent paralysis from the waist down. He underwent surgery to stabilize the fracture Saturday night and remains in stable condition at Parkland Hospital.

The Channel 8 sports staff extends our heartfelt prayers for the Behm, DeCamillis and Gaither families, as well as everyone else involved in yesterday's tragedy at Valley Ranch.
