Va. Sen. Creigh Deeds' Stabbing, Son's Death Eyed as Attempted Murder-Suicide

Police are investigating this morning's stabbing of a former Democratic nominee for governor of Virginia as "an attempted murder and suicide," they said this afternoon.

Creigh Deeds is now in fair condition at a Virginia hospital after he was stabbed multiple times in his home. His son, Gus Deeds, 24, was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot injury, state police said.

Police did not specifically name Gus Deeds as the perpetrator, but they are not searching for any suspects. Police are still investigating the motive and the sequence of events at the Millboro, Va., home.

Creigh Deeds was stabbed multiple times in the head and upper torso, but was capable of speaking with police and investigators, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said.

Doctors upgraded his condition to fair from critical this afternoon, meaning he is conscious with stable vital signs within normal limits.

First responders had attempted this morning to treat his son at the scene, but he succumbed to his gunshot wound.
