The Dallas Cowboys are attempting to figure out how to build their roster heading into free agency, and in the middle of that, a report involving one of their key pieces shook up the social media world.
Soon-to-be-free-agent wide receiver Amari Cooper is preparing to begin having his camp negotiate with teams, and has probably already been in talks with the Cowboys, when a report of him being shot in a parking garage in Dallas emerged.
Dallas Police Department quickly attempted to pour water on the rumor fire, with this tweet.
There has been a tweet going viral that Amari Cooper has been shot in the Dallas area. We have NOT found any validity to that tweet occurring in the city of #Dallas. At this time, there has been NO shooting incident occurring in the city of Dallas. @ChiefHallDPD

Soon after, Cooper took to Instagram, to confirm that he had not been shot, and that the report was completely erroneous.
Cowboys fans can breathe now.
