Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator's son arrested after mother shot in Virginia

Police in Loudoun County responded to a 7:32 p.m. call reporting a shooting at a home on Northpark Drive in Ashburn, Virginia. Officers found 57-year-old Mia Bieniemy with multiple gunshot wounds and transported her to a hospital, where she is listed as stable.

Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman said Mia Bieniemy called 911 herself and confirmed that her son, 27-year-old Elijah Zion Bieniemy, was arrested at the scene. Chapman added that Elijah was charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and discharge of a firearm inside a dwelling, and is being held without bond.

The sheriff’s office noted there were no prior incidents reported at the residence and that there is no ongoing public threat. The investigation remains active, and authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the sheriff’s office.

"I’ll just say she was shot multiple times, and we have to go through an entire investigation to determine where everybody was, what they did, what prompted it, and how it all transpired," Chapman said.

The Kansas City Chiefs issued a brief statement saying the organization is aware of the incident and will not comment further out of respect for the family’s privacy. Head coach Andy Reid later expressed support for Eric Bieniemy, noting that Mia is in stable condition and that Bieniemy will take time away from football to focus on his family.

"Our hearts go out to Eric Bieniemy and his family. Thoughts and prayers are with them," Reid said.

Elijah Bieniemy’s arraignment was postponed, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Aug. 31. A public defender has been listed as his attorney in court records.
