Virginia authorities have arrested 27-year-old Elijah Bieniemy and charged him in the shooting of his mother, Mia Bieniemy. Mia, 57, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was reported to be in stable condition after being taken to hospital.

Deputies from the Loudoun county sheriff’s office responded late on Sunday to a reported shooting in Ashburn, Virginia, officials said. When officers arrived they located 57-year-old Mia Bieniemy with multiple gunshot wounds; she was transported to a hospital and listed as stable on Monday. The woman is the wife of Kansas City offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who was at the Chiefs’ team camp in Missouri on Sunday.

The department’s account states that deputies were called to the scene late on Sunday evening and made the discovery of Mia Bieniemy at that location. Officials provided the update on the woman’s condition on Monday, indicating she remained in stable condition after medical treatment and transport to a hospital.

The relationship between those involved was noted in the law enforcement statement; Mia Bieniemy is married to Eric Bieniemy, the Kansas City offensive coordinator. The arrest and charging of their son places the case under local criminal investigation by Virginia authorities. The timing of the response and the subsequent medical transfer were described in the sheriff’s office statement given on Monday.

Eric Bieniemy was at the Chiefs’ training camp in Missouri on Sunday as the events unfolded in Ashburn, according to the information released by authorities and media reports.
