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, authorities in Virginia said Monday. The Loudon County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded late Sunday to a shooting in Ashburn, Virginia, where the couple still had a home from Bieniemy's time with the Washington Commanders. They found the 57-year-old Mia Bieniemy with multiple gunshot wounds, and she was transported to a hospital where she was in stable condition Monday, reports the
AP.
Elijah Zion Bieniemy, the 27-year-old son of the couple, was arrested early Monday 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. The sheriff's office said the investigation was ongoing.
Eric Bieniemy was with the Chiefs at training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, earlier Sunday. He was not present for Monday's workout, which was closed to the public. The team did not plan any media availability afterward. "The club is aware of the incident involving Eric Bieniemy's family," the Chiefs said 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."
Eric Bieniemy was part of Chiefs coach Andy Reid's initial staff in Kansas City in 2013, and spent five seasons as the running backs coach before he was promoted to offensive coordinator. Over the next five seasons, the demanding but popular Bieniemy helped the Chiefs reach three Super Bowls and win two of them while helping to direct one of the NFL's best offenses. He returned to the Chiefs this season after his stint with the Commanders. The Chiefs are off Tuesday. The first full-squad workout at Missouri Western State University is Wednesday.
