The WashingtonPost.com reports:
Virginia state Sen. R. Creigh Deeds (D-Bath) was stabbed multiple times early Tuesday in an assault at his house in Bath County, west of Charlottesville, Virginia State Police said. The senator’s 24-year-old son, Gus Deeds, was found fatally shot inside the home.
In a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Corinne Geller, a state police spokeswoman, said Bath County sheriff’s deputies and state police arrived at the senator’s home on Vineyard Drive in the Millboro community at 7:25 a.m. after someone called 911 to report the assault.
Deeds represents Bath County and surrounding areas, including the city of Charlottesville.
Virginia State Police Sgt. Mike King told the Roanoke Times that Gus Deeds suffered an “apparent” self-inflicted gunshot wound. King told the Times that the father and son were the only ones in the house at the time.
Geller said authorities are not looking for anyone else who might have been involved in the assault.
“We’re not looking for a third person,” Geller said. “We’re five hours into the investigation. There’s still a lot more work to be done.”
