The wife of Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy was rushed to the hospital Sunday evening after being shot inside the couple’s home in Virginia, according to a report from ESPN.
The woman, identified by sources as Mia Bieniemy, 57, was receiving treatment for what authorities described as “serious injuries” in Loudoun County. A spokesperson for the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that deputies responded to a call at the Ashburn, Virginia home at 7:32 p.m. ET on Sunday.
The Chiefs organization released a statement saying it is aware of the incident involving the “family” of the 56-year-old assistant coach. At the time of the shooting, Bieniemy was with the team at training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri. No additional details were made available by the club.
Bieniemy returned to head coach Andy Reid’s staff in January, having previously served with Kansas City as running backs coach from 2013 to 2017 and as offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2022. During his earlier tenure with the Chiefs, he was part of the coaching staff that helped the team capture Super Bowl LIV and Super Bowl LVII championships.
Before rejoining Kansas City, Bieniemy held the offensive coordinator position at UCLA in 2024 and with the Washington Commanders in 2023, as well as at his alma mater Colorado from 2011 to 2012. Most recently, he coached the Chicago Bears’ running backs during the 2025 season.
