IRVING, Texas (AP) - Dallas Cowboys special teams coach Joe DeCamillis was among at least five people injured Saturday when the roof of the team's practice facility collapsed during a storm.

Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said four team support staff members were injured and all players and coaches were accounted
for. He didn't know the extent of the injuries of the four, who he said were hospitalized.

DeCamillis was seen putting on a neck brace and being taken out of the team's main office building on a stretcher.

The roof came down during a severe thunderstorm while the team was going through the second day of a three-day rookie minicamp. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, in a TV interview from the Kentucky Derby, said 27 rookies were going through the workout.

Witnesses said lights started flickering and shaking minutes before the collapse, prompting players, coaches, staff members and reporters to vacate the building. Several people were trying to exit the facility as the roof came down.

The storm was producing winds measured at 64 mph just before it struck the Cowboys facility, said National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Harris in Fort Worth.

Dalrymple said rescue personnel were still going through the debris to make sure everyone was accounted for.

The roof is a large air-supported canopy with aluminum frames covering a regulation 100-yard football field.

Power was out at the Valley Ranch facility.

I'm sure this, like everything else, will be blamed on Terrell Owens and George Bush. :lol: :roll:

Sadly, you can't blame it on these two equally despised idiots. :lol:

What a great story! What's amazing is that the horse only cost the owner $9500! I love it. Sure wish I had some money on that horse. 8)

1st it got squashed out the gate, then it had to deal with everybody in front.

Would've loved to see what that horse could do head up against one of those other 3. It literally left them in the dust so wonder how much more it could've done without the initial setbacks.

You know Rick, if you guys had St. Vince on your side this never would have happened.

Well, there goes the Cowboys season.. (and the excuse to go along with it.)

Pretty sad to hear a man was paralyzed. Unfortunate event and it couldn't of been avoided. Hope anyone who is injured makes a fast recovery.
