Cowboys Compassion: America's Team Reacts to America's Latest Mass Shooting

Enraged by yet another mass shooting in America, America's Team responded Tuesday with anger and demands for change in the wake of the school shooting that killed at least 20 people - including 18 children - in Uvalde, Texas.

This latest shooting comes just 10 days after the grocery store shooting in Buffalo and almost 10 years since the grisly Sandy Hook school shooting in Newton, Connecticut.

Taking a break from voluntary OTAs at The Star in Frisco and depth-chart battles beginning to take form in advance of next month's minicamp and the start of training camp in late July, Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence was the most vocal on Twitter. He even challenged Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to make tangible changes and reached out to Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James with an offer to collaborate on solutions.

. @GregAbbott_TX Who is going to stand up and DEMAND we have better security at all these schools that can’t afford it???? How are our tax dollars not going to those who need the most protection??!! OUR CHILDREN! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

James, a rabid Cowboys fan, joined the legion of sports stars angrily reacting to yet another senseless shooting.

. @KingJames let’s work together to get ample security systems built for all those who don’t have them!!!! Are kids need us since our government won’t. https://t.co/plQplpZnxR

The Cowboys, who held their training camp in San Antonio in 2003, 2007 and 2009-11, posted a statement supporting the victims of Uvalde, which is located 90 miles west of the Alamo City.

The entire Dallas Cowboys organization grieves alongside the community of Uvalde and all of those affected by today’s tragic event. As we mourn the loss of innocent life, our hearts and prayers are with the victims’ families, loved ones, faculty and staff of Robb Elementary.

The Houston Texans also posted a statement regarding the shooting, and there was a moment of silence schedule before Tuesday night's Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors.
