Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has reportedly reached out to Santa Fe High School — the site of Friday’s mass shooting in Texas — and offered to cover the funeral expenses of the victims. At least 10 people have died following the tragedy, with another 10 injured — the majority of which are students.

Watt expressed his grief on Twitter yesterday before reportedly contacting school officials. Houston is just 37 miles northwest of Santa Fe High School.
Watt has a long history of being extremely active and charitable in the Houston community, most notably raising $37 million for Hurricane Harvey relief in late 2017. He was awarded the prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award in early 2018 as a result, which annually recognizes an NFL player for his charity and excellence on and off the field.
