According to reports, Reid was working late at his office located in the NFL team’s practice facility when the bullet was fired. The Kansas City Police Department provided a police report stating that the incident took place around 12:15 a.m. The police were alerted by overnight security after a noise was heard, and a bullet hole was discovered in a window.
The shot was fired from outside the building, piercing a window in Reid’s office and landing inside a wall between the bathroom and his office door. The bullet came dangerously close to the coach’s desk, within 15 feet, as reported by Kansas City Star. The building sustained two other bullets during the incident, with one found outside in an air conditioning unit and another hitting the floor above Reid’s office.
Thankfully, no one was injured, and no arrests have been made in connection with the incident. The case is being investigated as aggravated assault due to the building being occupied at the time of the shooting. The police are conducting further forensic analysis to determine the origin of the bullet.
While there have been no specific leads indicating that this was a targeted attack, the investigation is ongoing to ascertain the motive behind the shooting. The team believes the incident to be a random act of violence, as reported by a close insider to USA Today Sports.
In response to the incident, additional safety measures have been implemented, including the installation of bulletproof windows in Reid’s office. The Kansas City Chiefs have been contacted for comment but have not responded at this time.
As the investigation continues, the authorities are working diligently to gather more information to bring clarity to this frightening occurrence. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of security and safety in all environments, including professional sports settings.
