A 57-year-old woman, identified as Mia Bieniemy, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, was shot multiple times at her home in Ashburn, Virginia, on Sunday night. According to local law enforcement, the alleged perpetrator was their son, Elijah Zion Bieniemy, who was taken into custody shortly after the incident. The victim sustained injuries to her chest and arm and was hospitalized in stable condition, police confirmed. Deputies from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about the shooting at the family's residence in the 2000 block of Northpark Drive. Upon arrival, they found Mia Bieniemy suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Elijah Zion Bieniemy, 27, was subsequently arrested and charged with malicious wounding, using a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm inside a dwelling. He was booked into the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center and held without bail. Authorities stated there was no immediate public safety risk posed by the suspect. Eric Bieniemy, who had been participating in the Chiefs' preseason training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, left immediately following the incident to be with his wife. He did not attend Monday’s practice session. Head coach Andy Reid addressed the media on Monday, expressing concern for the Bieniemy family. He praised Mia Bieniemy as "one of God’s good blessings" and noted that her stable condition was a positive sign. Reid also mentioned that the team would adjust its coaching responsibilities temporarily, with passing game coordinator Joe Bleymaier and offensive line coach Andy Heck taking on expanded roles while Bieniemy focuses on his wife’s recovery. The Chiefs organization issued a statement acknowledging the incident and emphasized their support for the Bieniemy family. A spokesperson, Brad Gee, said the team would not provide further comments due to the family's request for privacy. Their thoughts and prayers were extended to the affected individuals. Eric Bieniemy has had a long and varied career in football. He previously served as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2022, leading the team through three Super Bowl appearances during that period. After leaving Kansas City, he coached the Washington Commanders and UCLA Bruins before joining the Chicago Bears as a running backs coach in 2025. He returned to the Chiefs this offseason to resume his role as offensive coordinator. Before entering professional football, Bieniemy played for the Colorado Buffaloes, where he became one of the program’s most accomplished players. He contributed significantly to the team’s 1990 national championship win and holds records for rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and all-purpose yards in the school’s history. Authorities have not yet disclosed a potential motive behind the shooting. The case remains under active investigation, with more details expected as the inquiry progresses. The community and football circles continue to monitor developments closely, hoping for clarity and resolution in the coming days.
