A spokesperson for the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said authorities responded to a call at 7:32 p.m. ET Sunday in Ashburn.
The Chiefs said the organization was aware of an incident involving the “family” of its 56-year-old assistant coach. The team did not provide additional information.

During his earlier tenure with the organization, Bieniemy helped the Chiefs win Super Bowls LIV and LVII.
He spent the 2025 season as the Chicago Bears’ running backs coach. Bieniemy also previously served as offensive coordinator for UCLA in 2024 and the Washington Commanders in 2023.
Earlier in his coaching career, he worked as offensive coordinator at Colorado, his alma mater, from 2011 through 2012.
