The wife of Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy was reportedly shot on Sunday night at the couple's home in Ashburn, Virginia. One of the couple's sons has been charged in connection with the shooting.
Per the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the 20000 block of Northpark Drive at 7:32 p.m. Sunday and found a woman with multiple gunshot wounds. She was hospitalized with serious injuries.
ESPN reporter Nate Taylor identified the victim as Mia Bieniemy, 57, and described her condition as stable. Elijah Zion Bieniemy, 27, the couple's son, was charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharge of a firearm inside a dwelling. Elijah is being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center.
Bieniemy was with the Chiefs on Sunday in St. Joseph, Missouri, for the early days of training camp at Missouri Western State University. The Chiefs had rookies and quarterbacks report on July 24, while the rest of the roster is expected by July 28.
