The son of Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy has been arrested and jailed after allegedly shooting his mother, Bieniemy's wife, multiple times at the couple's home in Virginia. The incident occurred while Bieniemy was away with the team at training camp, and it adds a serious personal crisis to the coach's life during a pivotal period for the Chiefs following their worst season since 2012.

Elijah Zion Bieniemy, 27, was arrested and charged with malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Further details of the shooting, including the circumstances and his mother's condition, had not been fully disclosed at the time of reporting.
