Va. Sen. Creigh Deeds Hospitalized After Stabbing; Son Dead at Scene
Virginia State Sen. Creigh Deeds remained in fair condition Tuesday night at the University of Virginia Medical Center after he was stabbed by his son, who then shot himself, sources told News4.
Virginia State Police are investigating the incident as a possible attempted murder-suicide, spokeswoman Corinne Geller said Tuesday afternoon.
At two afternoon news conferences, state police stopped short of confirming what other sources had told News4: That 24-year-old Austin "Gus" Deeds stabbed his father then killed himself. But state police did confirm that Creigh Deeds suffered multiple stab wounds to the head and upper torso during an altercation at his home, and that Gus Deeds died at the scene of a gunshot wound.

I don't care for Deeds politics but this is a tragedy I wouldn't wish on any family.
