JUST IN: NFL Coach’s Wife Shot In Couple’s Home
The wife of Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy was shot Sunday night at the couple’s Virginia home, according to ESPN.
Mia Bieniemy, 57, was hospitalized in stable condition, a source told the outlet. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that one person suffered “serious injuries” in the shooting but did not identify the victim. However, the couple’s son, Elijah, has been charged with three felonies in connection with the incident, according to USA TODAY reporter Arye Pulli.
Authorities responded to a report of a shooting at a home in the 20000 block of Northpark Drive in Ashburn, Virginia, at 7:32 p.m. ET Sunday, Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Leah Pau said Monday.
Eric Bieniemy was with the Chiefs earlier Sunday in St. Joseph, Missouri, where the team held its second training camp practice at Missouri Western State University.
Elijah was reportedly charged with use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, malicious wounding, and discharging a firearm within a building.
The Chiefs acknowledged the incident in a brief statement, saying they are “aware of the incident involving Eric Bieniemy’s family,” but declined to provide additional details.
Bieniemy returned to Kansas City earlier this year as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator after previously serving in the role from 2018 through 2022.
