Someone fired a shot into the office of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid in 2024 while the Chiefs coach was inside, The Kansas City Star reports.
Neither Reid nor anyone else was injured, but he now sits behind bulletproof glass, according to the report. Citing “several sources,” including a spokesperson for the Kansas City Police Department, the Star reported Wednesday that the shooting took place in May of last year.
Per the report, Reid was working alone in his office at the Chiefs’ practice facility after midnight on May 4 when someone from outside the building fired a shot through a window in his office. The bullet then lodged into the wall between the door to Reid’s office and his bathroom, roughly 15 feet away from Reid’s desk, per the report.
The shooting had not previously been reported or publicly disclosed until Wednesday.
Investigation is ongoing
KCPD spokesperson Capt. Jacob Becchina told The Star that no arrests have been made or charges filed, and that an investigation is ongoing. The Chiefs declined to comment to the Star about the incident.
The motive for the shooting is unclear.
“There is no indication this was a targeted incident at any person or organization,” Becchina told the Star. “Because the building was occupied at the time of the bullet coming through the window, the case is being investigated as an aggravated assault.”
Per the report, two other bullets were fired at the building during the shooting. One hit the third floor, one floor above Reid’s second-story office. The other hit an outdoor air-conditioning unit.
