ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) --- The son of Chiefs assistant coach Eric Bieniemy has
been arrested and charged with the shooting of his mother, Mia Bieniemy, the
wife of the Kansas City offensive coordinator, according to authorities in
Virginia.
The Loudon County Sheriff's Office said Monday that deputies responded late
Sunday to a shooting in Ashburn, Virginia, where they found 57-year-old Mia
Bieniemy with multiple gunshot wounds. She was transported to a hospital and
was in stable condition Monday.
Elijah Zion Bieniemy, the 27-year-old son of the couple, was arrested in
connection with the shooting. He has been charged with malicious wounding, use
of a firearm in commission of a felony and discharge of a firearm inside a
dwelling, and is being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention
Center.
Eric Bieniemy was with the Chiefs at their practice in St. Joseph, Missouri,
earlier Sunday. He was not present for Monday's workout.
"The club is aware of the incident involving Eric Bieniemy's family," the team
told The Associated Press in a statement. "Out of respect for their privacy, we
won't have a comment at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them."
