The Gene and Jerry Jones Family Foundation and Dallas Cowboys will donate $50,000 to a fund set up for victims of Saturday's shooting in El Paso, Texas, according to The Athletic's Jon Machota

Twenty-two people are dead and another 24 were injured after a gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso.

"We are so appreciative of the support that we have in El Paso," Jerry Jones told reporters following the shooting. "And it's just unthinkable and a tragedy that they're having to live right there with that. But we all are in heart and spirit, we share that. We all do. It's just so sad for those families. All those innocent people."
