Gunshot fired into Andy Reid’s practice office in 2024

  • Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s office window was struck by a bullet in May of last year.
  • The incident was confirmed by a person close to the situation.
  • No one was injured, and police are investigating the incident as aggravated assault.

Kansas City Police Department spokesperson Capt. Jacob Beccina confirmed officers responded to an incident at the facility on May 4, 2024, in a statement to USA TODAY Sports.

‘When officers arrived they were told by overnight security that someone in the building alerted them to hearing a noise and observed what appeared to be a bullet hole in a window,’ the statement read. ‘Because the building was occupied at the time of the bullet coming through the window the case is being investigated as an aggravated assault. No one was struck, and there were no injuries associated with the incident.’

No arrests or charges have been made in the case and the investigation is ongoing, per Beccina.

A person close to the situation told USA TODAY Sports’ Jarrett Bell the team believes it was a random incident. The person spoke on condition of anonymity given that there is an ongoing police investigation.

The bullet shot a hole through the window and blinds before lodging between his bathroom and the entry door to the office, according to The Kansas City Star.

Two more bullets hit the practice facility in addition to the shot at Reid’s office, per The Star. One hit the floor above his office and the other hit an outdoor air conditioning unit.

The 66-year-old Reid is one of few people in the franchise to know about the incident. Bulletproof glass was later installed in his office.

Kansas City declined to comment. 

Kansas City’s practice facility is on the north end of the Truman Sports Complex that includes GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Chiefs, and Kauffman Stadium, home of the MLB’s Kansas City Royals.
