Authorities in Loudoun County, Virginia say Elijah Zion Bieniemy, the 27-year-old son of Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Eric Bieniemy, is arrested and charged in connection with the shooting of his mother, Mia Bieniemy. Multiple outlets report that deputies responded late Sunday to a shooting in Ashburn, Virginia, where Mia Bieniemy, 57, was found with multiple gunshot wounds. She is transported to a hospital, and authorities report she is stable as of Monday.
The reports also say that Eric Bieniemy is linked to the team’s activities in Missouri around the time of the incident: he was with the Chiefs at practice in St. Joseph earlier Sunday, and he was not present for Monday’s workout, according to one outlet citing an earlier report. Additional coverage states that Elijah Bieniemy is being held without bond following his arrest in Virginia.
The case is being handled by Virginia authorities, with further details about the charges’ exact nature and circumstances of the shooting not included in the provided reports.
