Summary
Court records say Elijah Bieniemy must undergo a mental-health competency evaluation before a preliminary hearing on charges that he shot his mother, Mia Bieniemy, multiple times at the family’s Ashburn, Virginia, home.
Mia Bieniemy, 57, was critically wounded in the July 26 shooting but has since left the ICU and is now in stable condition.
Elijah Bieniemy is charged with malicious wounding, using a firearm in a felony and discharging a firearm inside a dwelling; records say he appears unable to assist in his defense at present.
Police were reportedly called two days earlier after Elijah said his parents were withholding his weapons and that, as a certified UFC fighter, he could not defend himself.
Eric Bieniemy remains away on family matters, but Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said the offensive coordinator is still following training camp remotely through a live practice feed.
