The shot was fired from outside and pierced a window in Reid’s office before landing inside a wall between the bathroom and his office door, according to Kansas City Star. It\u2019s reported that the bullet came within 15 feet of the coach\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n

The building was hit by two other rounds during the incident, per USA Today<\/a>. One bullet was found outside in an air conditioning unit, while another “hit the floor above [Reid’s] office.”<\/p>\n

“No one was struck, and there were no injuries associated with the incident,” the spokesperson for the police department told PEOPLE. However, the case is being investigated as aggravated assault “because the building was occupied at the time of the bullet coming through the window.”<\/p>\n
