TMZ<\/a>, Eric and Mia\u2019s son, Elijah, was arrested and charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in commission of a felony, and discharge of a firearm inside of a dwelling as a result of the shooting.<\/p>\nAt the time of the incident, Eric was with the Chiefs in St. Joseph, Missouri, where the team had wrapped up its second practice of training camp.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs acknowledged the situation in a brief statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe club is aware of the incident involving Eric Bieniemy\u2019s family,\u201d the organization said, adding that it would have no further comment out of respect for the family\u2019s privacy.<\/p>\n
Few additional details have been released about the shooting, and investigators have not publicly discussed what led to the incident. The Loudoun County Sheriff\u2019s Office continues to investigate.<\/p>\n
\nEric, 56, returned to Kansas City earlier this year after spending the 2025 season as the Chicago Bears\u2019 running backs coach. <\/p>\n
He previously served as the Chiefs\u2019 offensive coordinator from 2018 through 2022, helping the franchise win two Super Bowls before departing for the Washington Commanders in 2023.<\/p>\n
His return to Kansas City was viewed as a significant offseason move as the Chiefs look to rebound following an injury-plagued 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n
For now, however, football has understandably taken a back seat.<\/p>\n
As of Monday morning, Mia remained hospitalized in stable condition, and neither the family nor law enforcement had released additional information regarding the circumstances surrounding the shooting. <\/p>\n
The investigation remains ongoing, and more details are expected as authorities continue their work.<\/p>\n
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
