Visiting the Texans provides 'sanctuary' for Santa Fe football team

HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans' practice on June 12 was not a normal day of offseason training for the team. They had some special visitors waiting for them afterward.

After a morning of practice, Texans players walked straight off to one side on the field. Waiting in a line for the players were members of the Santa Fe High School football team, who were attending practice as guests of the Texans.

Two members of the high school football team were among the 10 dead after a shooting at the school on May 18 when a 17-year-old carrying a shotgun and revolver opened fire on the campus, which is about 30 miles from downtown Houston.
