Andy Reid had a bullet fired into his office window at the Chiefs’ practice facility some 15 months ago, which only came to light on Wednesday.
The incident happened on May 4, 2024, when Reid had been alone working in the building and a bullet whizzed through his window, leaving a hole in the glass and blinds and lodging the bullet into a wall in the head coach’s office, the Kansas City Star reported.
Following the shooting, which Kansas City Police confirmed to the outlet, bulletproof glass was installed in his office.
The incident had been kept very hush-hush since it happened and the bullet landed 15 feet away from Reid’s desk.
The gunfire happened shortly after midnight and officers who arrived in the early morning hours were told by an overnight security guard that someone “heard a noise and observed what appeared to be a bullet hole in a window,” Kansas City Police Department spokesperson Capt. Jacob Becchina told The Star.
The investigation is ongoing, and so far, no arrests have been made in the case.
Kansas City Police don’t believe that “this was a targeted incident at any person or organization.”
“Because the building was occupied at the time of the bullet coming through the window, the case is being investigated as an aggravated assault,” Becchina said
Bullets also hit two other areas of the facility, with one striking a floor above Reid’s office and another lodging into an air conditioning unit, The Star reported.
Reid’s office is on the second floor of the facility and overlooks the three practice fields that the Chiefs have at their facility.
The team facility is located less than a mile away from Arrowhead Stadium.
Reid has led the Chiefs to three Super Bowl titles in a five-year span and his 301 victories are the fourth most in NFL history.
