A bullet was fired into the office of Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid at the team’s practice facility last spring while he was inside, the Kansas City Star reported on Wednesday.
The Star, citing multiple sources, reported Reid was working alone in his office in early May 2024 when a bullet fired from outside the building broke through glass and left a hole in the window and blinds. It eventually lodged 15ft from where Reid was sitting, in a wall between his bathroom and his office door. The Chiefs installed bulletproof glass soon afterward.
The Star reported two more bullets hit the facility, with one striking the third floor and another an outdoor air-conditioning unit. Few people in the organization knew about the incident.
A Chiefs spokesman declined comment on Wednesday night. Reid’s next media availability is slated to be Friday night after Kansas City’s home game against the Chicago Bears, the final preseason game for both teams.
No arrests have been made and no charges have been filed, though the police are treating the incident as an aggravated assault.
“There is no indication this was a targeted incident at any person or organization,” Kansas City Police Department spokesperson Captain Jacob 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.”
Reid has led the Chiefs to three Super Bowl titles since the 2019 season, with the most recent coming at the end of the 2023 season. Kansas City lost their bid for a three-peat when they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in February’s Super Bowl.
Along with his three rings, the 2002 AP NFL Coach of the Year Award winner has 273 career wins, fourth all time and tops among active coaches. He coached the Philadelphia Eagles for 14 seasons before joining the Chiefs prior to the 2013 season.
