Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy says wife recovering after Virginia shooting

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy returned to the team's training camp on August 10 following a two-week absence to be with his family after his wife, Mia, was shot at their Virginia home. Speaking to reporters for the first time since his return on August 18, Bieniemy provided a positive update on his wife's condition and explained that her recovery was the primary reason he felt able to rejoin the team.

Mia Bieniemy was shot multiple times on the evening of July 26 at the couple's home in Ashburn, Virginia. She was rushed to the hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit. According to reports, she was released from the ICU a few days later and has since been in stable condition, steadily recovering. The couple's son, 27-year-old Elijah Zion Bieniemy, was arrested the following day and has been charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in commission of a felony, and discharge of a firearm inside a dwelling. He is currently being held without bond, and his court proceedings are delayed pending a mental health evaluation.
