Mia Bieniemy shot at the Virginia home she shares with Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy was hospitalized after the Sunday night incident, ESPN reported Monday, citing sources.
ESPN identified the injured person as Mia Bieniemy, 57. Police in Loudoun County, Virginia, confirmed that someone was receiving treatment for “serious injuries,” but authorities did not name the person, according to the report.
Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Leah Pau said Monday that police were called to a home on the 20000 block of Northpark Drive in Virginia at 7:32 p.m. ET Sunday, ESPN reported.
The Chiefs said in a statement that the team is “aware of the incident involving Eric Bieniemy’s family,” according to ESPN. The team did not release further details.
What happened to Mia Bieniemy?
ESPN reported, citing sources, that Mia Bieniemy was shot Sunday night at the couple’s home in Virginia and taken to a hospital. Loudoun County police confirmed a person was being treated for serious injuries, but did not publicly identify that person.
No additional details about the circumstances of the shooting were reported by ESPN. The report did not include information about a suspect, any arrests, or what may have led to the incident.
Eric Bieniemy was not at the Virginia home earlier Sunday, according to ESPN. He had been with the Chiefs in St. Joseph, Missouri, at Missouri Western State, where the team held its second practice of training camp.
Bieniemy returned to Kansas City earlier this year as offensive coordinator, ESPN reported. He previously held that same job with the Chiefs from 2018 through 2022.
The shooting brings a private family emergency into view just as the Chiefs are beginning training camp preparations. For now, the publicly confirmed information remains limited to the law enforcement response in Loudoun County, the hospitalization of a seriously injured person, ESPN’s identification of Mia Bieniemy as the victim, and the Chiefs’ acknowledgment that the team knows about the family incident.
