Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy says wife Mia is 'doing great' 3 months after surviving shooting
Bieniemy said Thursday that rehab is going well for Mia, who was shot in the chest and arm in July. Their son, Elijah, was arrested in connection with the case.
Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy has provided an uplifting update on his wife Mia's condition, three months following a shooting incident at their family home in Loudoun County, Virginia. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Bieniemy expressed that Mia is thriving and recently embarked on a trip with friends.
"She’s doing great. She actually went on a trip this weekend," he noted. "She was a rockstar, obviously." Mia, 57, sustained gunshot wounds to her arm and chest during the July 26 attack. Her husband's son, Elijah, was apprehended and charged with the shooting the following day. Three weeks post the incident, Bieniemy returned to practice, assuring that Mia was on the path to recovery.
He attributed his return to his wife's progress, stating, "One of the main reasons why I'm back here, because of her recovery." Mia is hailed as a resilient individual, who, as her husband eloquently put it, "is a soldier and a saint." The couple's daughter, Elijah, was deemed fit to stand trial after a psychological assessment, with a public defender citing "significant mental health issues" in Elijah's background.
Eric Bieniemy, a highly respected offensive coach, is currently serving as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator, a position he held from 2018 to 2022.
