TRAGIC CALL

Wife of NFL Coach Called 911 Herself After Being Shot by Son

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator left his team’s training camp almost immediately when the news broke.

An update to the tragic shooting of Mia Bieniemy reveals that the wife of NFL coach Eric Bieniemy had to call 911 herself after being attacked by her son. The Sunday night shooting occurred in the family’s Ashburn, Virginia, residence, where Elijah Bieniemy, 27, shot his 57-year-old mother twice. Videos released by NBC show three police officers carrying the wounded woman out of her home. Later clips show Elijah being detained and held against a police car, followed by his mug shot. Elijah’s father and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, 56, left the team’s preseason practices in Missouri upon hearing the news and was granted indefinite leave from his position. Mia, who is now in stable condition, suffered the gunshots to her left forearm and shoulder, requiring surgery to treat her injuries. Her son is being held without bond for use of a firearm in commission of a felony, malicious wounding, and discharge of a firearm inside a dwelling. His hearing is scheduled for August 31.
