What sort of trauma did Deeds suffer?
Was the deceased Dem or Rep, Male or female, black white or other. By
what means was the deceased dispatched?

Sen Deeds was stabbed.

So far CNN is not talking about any other people.



The Virginia State Police had a news conference, and the spokesperson
said the Creigh Deeds had been stabbed numerous times around the upper
body and head. Deeds was conscious and talked to the police. His wounds
were considered serious.

The dead person, who was shot, is Deeds' son, an occasional student at
the College of William and Mary, a first-rate college in Virginia, in
Willamsburg.

The police spokesperson said that at the time of the conference, they
were not looking for suspects.

That's about all the "meat" revealed.

Creigh Deeds’ son had mental-health evaluation Monday

BY JIM NOLAN AND MICHAEL MARTZ Richmond Times-Dispatch | Posted:
Tuesday, November 19, 2013 9:38 am

Sen. Creigh Deeds was stabbed multiple times early today at his Bath
County home and his son, Gus, is dead from an apparent self-inflicted
gunshot wound. Gus Deeds had been released Monday following a mental
health evaluation performed under an emergency custody order, an
official said.

At a news conference in Charlottesville, a Virginia State Police
spokeswoman said Deeds was stabbed numerous times in the head and torso
but was alert and had given statements to authorities. She said Deeds,
who was being treated at the University of Virginia Medical Center, had
been seriously wounded.

Dennis Cropper, executive director of the Rockbridge County Community
Services Board, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that the emergency
custody order, or ECO, allowed Gus Deeds to be held as long as four
hours to determine whether he should be held longer, up to 72 hours,
under a temporary detention order.

The son was evaluated Monday at Bath County Hospital, Cropper said, but
was released because no psychiatric bed could be located across a wide
area of western Virginia.

At the news conference, state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said Gus
Deeds was found inside the family's residence in rural Millboro with a
gunshot wound, and died at the scene. Geller said authorities are not
looking for other suspects.

Authorities said they were still working to determine the sequence of
events that they said took place around 7:25 a.m.

Deeds and his son, Gus, 24, were the only people at the residence at the
time of the stabbing, state police Sgt. Mike King confirmed at the
scene. King said that Gus Deeds died of an "apparent" self-inflicted
gunshot wound inside.

Deeds was stabbed numerous times before walking down a private drive and
out to state Route 42, where he was picked up by a cousin who lives
nearby, King told The Roanoke Times. Deeds was flown to the hospital
from the cousin’s farm, King added.

It was unclear how Deeds contacted the cousin.

Austin Creigh "Gus" Deeds was one of four children that Deeds had with
his first wife. He attended the College of William and Mary but had
recently withdrawn, according to the college.

The college community was "very saddened to hear this tragic news," said
Brian Whitson, a William and Mary spokesman. "He had been enrolled as a
student at William and Mary since 2007, though not continuously. He
withdrew from the college last month and was not currently enrolled at
the time of his death. Our hearts go out to the entire Deeds family."

Gus Deeds was charged with underage alcohol possession in 2009. The case
was dismissed, according to court records in Bath County.

"This is a terrible tragedy," Del. David J. Toscano, D-Charlottesville,
said in a statement.

"Senator Deeds was very close to his son Gus, and has taken herculean
efforts to help him over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with
Creigh and the family at this difficult time."

Deeds, 55, has served in the state Senate since 2001, representing Bath
County. He lost two statewide contests to Republican Bob McDonnell, for
attorney general in 2005 and for governor in 2009.

“In this tough and sad time, our thoughts and prayers are with the Deeds
family," McDonnell said in a statement. "Creigh Deeds is an exceptional
and committed public servant who has always done what he believes is
best for Virginia and who gives his all to public service. He cares
deeply about Virginia, and the people of Virginia care deeply for him.

"I urge all Virginians today to join me in praying for a full and
complete recovery for Creigh and for many more years of his public
service to the commonwealth. At this moment, our state unites in prayer
for Creigh Deeds and his family.�

In an interview, McDonnell said he is "just stunned and really
heartbroken for Creigh and his family...He's a good, decent, honest
tenacious public servant."

Deeds won a special election in 2001 to fill the state Senate seat of
Emily Couric, who died of cancer. The district extends from
Charlottesville to the Alleghany Highlands and to the West Virginia
line. It includes Bath - the third-least populous county in the
commonwealth, with roughly 5,000 residents and no stoplights.

Outspent nearly 3 to 1, Deeds lost the 2005 race for attorney general to
McDonnell by the slimmest margin in modern Virginia history -- until the
current election for attorney general.

Deeds was born in Richmond in 1958, the son of a former Richmond police
officer and state worker. His parents divorced when he was 7, and he
moved with his mother and younger brother, Greg, to the Millboro farm of
his maternal grandparents in Bath County, where his grandfather, Austin
Creigh Tyree, was chairman of the Democratic committee.

Deeds and his first wife, Pamela Kay Miller, had four children: Amanda,
Rebecca, Gus, and Susannah. Amanda, a graduate of the University of
Virginia, and Gus, then a junior at William and Mary, took time off to
join their father on the trail in 2009.

Deeds and his first wife divorced in 2010. The Washington Post reported
at the time that the marriage was "a casualty of a nearly 20-year
pursuit of a lifelong ambition that kept him away from home."

Deeds married Siobhan Gilbride Lomax of Lexington in June 2012.

Del. R. Steven Landes, R-Augusta, shares representation of part of
Albemarle County with Deeds, and he said they often had talked about
their families.

"It's just a real shock," said Landes, who was on his way to Roanoke
today for the annual two-day retreat of the House Appropriations Committee.

"I know his family is very important to him," Landes said. "It's just
very unfortunate and tragic."

The U.Va. University Democrats and College Republicans announced they
will hold a joint vigil for Deeds at 8 p.m. Thursday at the U.Va.
Ampitheater.

Apparently, the guy who brought the knife to the gunfight, lost. He

BTW Was William and Mary one of the ones you flew over on your way to
Kansas?
