A bullet was fired into Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid's office at the team's practice facility last spring while he was inside, the Kansas City Star reported 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 through the window and blinds. It got lodged in a wall between his bathroom and the entry door to his office. The team 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 to the AP on Wednesday night.
The incident occurred just months after Reid led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl championship repeat and their third title in a five-year span. They won the AFC again last season, only to lose to Philadelphia.
Reid has a 273-146-1 record in 12 seasons with the Chiefs and 14 with the Eagles. He ranks fourth on the NFL's all-time wins list behind Don Shula, George Halas and Bill Belichick.

How to stream WWE PLEs on ESPN without paying $29.99 per month
WWE fans got a taste of what it's like to be in the ring, getting blindsided before the opening bell. Two weeks ago, WWE and ESPN announced a deal to bring WWE's Premium Live Events (PLEs) to a new direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming platform being launched by ESPN. Originally, the plan was to roll things out in 2026. But, as the saying goes in pro wrestling, plans change. On Wednesday, ESPN and WWE revealed that the new partnership will kick off much sooner than expected. Starting September 20, WWE's PLEs will debut on ESPN's DTC service with a brand-new event called Wrestlepalooza. For fans used to paying a modest price of around $10 a month to stream events — first via WWE Network, then Peacock — the shift represents a major price bump: $29.99 per month on ESPN's new service. But not everyone will have to pay for the new platform. Per ESPN, subscribers to Hulu + Live TV, DIRECTV (streaming only), Fubo TV, or Spectrum TV will have access to what it calls ESPN Unlimited as part of their existing pay-TV packages. Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics and Sports Business Journal both report that Verizon subscribers will also get access. The Journal added that 'More deals are being worked on, with notable absent names (for now) including Comcast Xfinity, YouTube TV, Dish, Sling TV and Cox.' Domestically, Netflix is WWE's broadcast partner for Monday Night Raw. In most international markets, the streaming giant is home to Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and all of WWE's PLEs. Some fans have suggested that using a VPN (virtual private network) — which can make it appear as though your device is connecting from another country — could be a way to bypass ESPN altogether and access WWE content through Netflix. But according to Netflix, 'You can't use a VPN while watching a live event on Netflix or with an ad-supported experience.' Users who do may get the error code E106 or this message: 'You seem to be using a VPN or proxy. Please turn off any of these services and try again.' As WWE and ESPN treat their fans like wrestlers — getting the jump on them — they shouldn't be surprised if fans respond in kind, acting like heels and finding a rogue way to beat the system.

DoorDash Customer Accused of Causing $10K Worth of Damage to Driver's Car Over Failed Chicken Wings Delivery: Reports
"She did this over a ten-piece chicken wing!" driver Faith Morris told TMJ4 News of the incident NEED TO KNOW A Milwaukee woman is facing a felony charge after allegedly causing $10,000 worth of damage to a DoorDash driver's vehicle Faith Morris' car was damaged after she was unable to complete the "late-night", "high-priced" order, which allegedly made the customer angry Customer Janiyah Jones was subsequently seen damaging Morris' vehicle with a brick and a tire iron, according to TMJ4 News, citing a criminal complaint A woman in Milwaukee is reportedly facing a felony charge after allegedly causing around $10,000 damage to a DoorDash driver's vehicle over a failed chicken wings order. On July 11, driver Faith Morris picked up a late-night "high-priced" food order that "was in the area," she said, per Fox 6 Milwaukee, confirming she threw her kids in the car and went to get the food. However, Morris' phone service ended up shutting off due to an overdue bill, so she wasn't able to complete the delivery, the outlet noted. "Within five minutes, T-Mobile shuts my phone off. I'm shocked," Morris told Fox 6 Milwaukee. "We pull up to the location but the address will not load because my app won't load anymore. I sit outside the customer's house for 10 minutes and [was] calling T-Mobile to see if they'll turn my phone back on." She then returned home, but the customer was not happy and texted the driver, accusing them of stealing their food, the outlet stated. According to TMJ4 News, customer Janiyah Jones was allegedly able to track Morris back to her home and ended up calling her for around an hour after the failed order. "There's no way that she should have been able to call me for an hour after this happened. An hour? It's absolutely insane," Morris said, per the outlet. Jones was then seen "striking [Morris's] vehicle with a tire iron, smashing her windows," with "a brick" also being "thrown at Morris's car," TMJ4 News reported, citing a criminal complaint. "It was so crazy how the glass was just raining from the sky when she was hitting it,' Morris said, per the publication. Morris claimed she hasn't been able to work as a delivery driver since the incident occurred, the outlet noted. Milwaukee police investigators were able to match Ring doorbell video footage with body camera footage from a previous crash involving the suspect earlier this year, TMJ4 News reported, citing court records. Police then identified the woman in question as Jones after executing a search warrant through DoorDash, the outlet noted. "She did this over a ten-piece chicken wing! She passed Fryers to come here," Morris told the outlet on Aug. 5. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

A DoorDash spokesperson said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE, 'This customer's actions are completely uncalled for, unacceptable, and disturbing. We have permanently banned them from our platform and are in touch with the Dasher directly to offer our support.' The company also said that they wouldn't ever share or show a worker's home address with any consumers. The Milwaukee Police Department and Milwaukee County Courts didn't immediately respond when contacted by PEOPLE for additional information. Read the original article on People

Humpy Wheeler, the 'P.T. Barnum of motorsports,' dies at 86
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Humpy Wheeler, a pioneering motorsports promoter and former president and general manager of Charlotte Motor Speedway, has died, NASCAR said. He was 86. Charlotte Motor Speedway said Wheeler died of natural causes Wednesday in Charlotte, surrounded by his family. 'Humpy Wheeler was a visionary whose name became synonymous with promotion and innovation in our sport,' said NASCAR chairman Jim France. 'During his decades leading Charlotte Motor Speedway, Humpy transformed the fan experience through his creativity, bold ideas and tireless passion. His efforts helped expand NASCAR's national footprint, cement Charlotte as a must-visit racing and entertainment complex.' Howard Augustine Wheeler Jr. was born in 1938 in Belmont, North Carolina, and gained his first major publicity job with Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. He held several other positions after Firestone shut down its racing program in 1970 and was hired at Charlotte Motor Speedway by owner Bruton Smith as president in 1975. He became a transformative figure in promoting racing and was known as the 'P.T. Barnum of motorsports' for flashy pre-race stunts, elaborate productions and sparing no expense in ensuring fans had the most enjoyable experience possible at his events. Wheeler earlier this year was named winner of NASCAR's prestigious Landmark Award for Outstanding Contributions to NASCAR, to which he'd have been inducted into the Hall of Fame next year. 'Humpy's contributions to and accomplishments in NASCAR are without parallel. The breadth and depth of his legacy, and those whom he influenced, assisted and mentored, cannot be overstated,' said Winston Kelley, executive director of the Hall of Fame. "Frequently adding new dynamics to the sport, Humpy's visionary leadership and creativity helped shape today's fan experience. 'Through his innovative promotions and stunts, Wheeler's contributions expanded NASCAR's national and international presence during the 1990s and early 2000s, solidifying Charlotte as 'NASCAR's Home for Racing.'' Wheeler mentored 'hundreds, if not thousands,' of people throughout his life, Kelley said, including inaugural NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt and Landmark Award recipient Janet Guthrie. Wheeler spent 33 years running Charlotte Motor Speedway. His innovation and pre-race extravaganzas recreated numerous military operations — including the invasion of Grenada — that made the facility a gold standard in NASCAR. He promoted school-bus races during the week, grassroots series for young aspiring racers, stunts and even the 'Robosaurus,' a towering, fire-breathing, car-crunching mechanical robot. Wheeler and his boss, the late Smith, grew Charlotte Motor Speedway into the ownership group Speedway Motorsports Inc., which acquired multiple race tracks that play a pivotal role in American motorsports today. Charlotte was the first track to build condominiums on site, built a restaurant overlooking the race track and was the first speedway of its size to install lights for night racing. 'Charlotte Motor Speedway was blessed to have a leader in Humpy Wheeler who can only be described as ONE of a kind,' the speedway said in a statement. ' For more than 30 years, Humpy was a promoter's promoter at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Alongside our founder Bruton Smith, Humpy pushed the speedway to new and greater heights — establishing the famed 1.5-mile superspeedway as not only the most innovative facility in NASCAR for fan, partner and competitor amenities, but also one of the most progressive in all of sports. 'Humpy's engaging smile and flair for promotion were legendary, and his impact on every stakeholder in motorsports will be long-lasting. Humpy not only made his mark with publicity, but also with a laser-focus toward the fans," the speedway continued. 'He would often tell his staff to pay attention to 'the three Ts — tickets, traffic and toilets,' in order to ensure fans have the best possible experience. He would also say it was our job to put a little 'technicolor in people's black-and-white lives.'" Wheeler retired from Charlotte Motor Speedway and Speedway Motorsports in 2008 after a bitter falling out with Smith, but remained active in motorsports through his own consulting company and was on the voting panel for the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He is survived by his wife, Pat; daughters, Traci and Patti; son, Trip; and four grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending and the family request donations be made in Wheeler's name to the Belmont Abbey College Motorsports Management Program, which Wheeler was instrumental in launching more than 20 years ago. ___ AP auto racing: Jenna Fryer, The Associated Press
