Son of Chiefs coach Eric Bieniemy charged in shooting of his mother

sportsJul 27, 202626205

Elijah Zion Bieniemy, 27, was arrested and charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and discharge of a firearm inside a dwelling after his mother, 57-year-old Mia Bieniemy, was found with multiple gunshot wounds Sunday night at the family home in Ashburn, Virginia, Loudoun County authorities said. Mia Bieniemy was transported to a hospital and was in stable condition Monday. Deputies responded late Sunday to the shooting at the couple's Virginia home that the Bieniemys maintained from Eric Bieniemy’s time with the Washington Commanders. Elijah Bieniemy is being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center. Eric Bieniemy was with the Kansas City Chiefs for practice in St Joseph, Missouri, earlier Sunday and did not attend Monday’s closed workout; the team said it was aware of the incident and offered no further comment, saying its thoughts and prayers are with the family. The Guardian notes Bieniemy returned to the Chiefs this season as offensive coordinator after stops with the Commanders, UCLA and the Chicago Bears and previously helped the Chiefs reach three Super Bowls and win two while on Andy Reid’s staff. The Chiefs are off Tuesday and scheduled their first full-squad workout at Missouri Western State University on Wednesday.

Proof point 1,382,256. Guns in the home are only a deterrent to women. NIH stats A woman is five times more likely to be murdered by an intimate partner if a gun is present in the home If women want to be safe they should stay away from people who own guns

That’s why you need a hand gun, to protect yourself from your children 🙃

Hey Chelousy5

I love Andy Reid but I'd never be friends w/ him. Chaos & suffering befall anyone who gets close to him.

Whoa, he shot his mom multiple times. What a fuckin loser.

I pray she has a full recovery and peace be to this brother b/c IDK how to even begin to process this. Too many times a woman is most likely to be harmed by a man she already knows. Shot in the arm AND chest? I'm surprised his son wasn't charged with attempted murder instantly.

Years ago I heard a statistic that for households with guns the number one most likely use of that gun if fired would be to shoot another family member and not an intruder. I think about that a lot.
