State Senator Creigh Deeds is now listed in good condition at UVA Medical Center after being stabbed multiple times in the head and torso at his Bath County home Tuesday morning.
Police were called to the home just before 7:30. The Senator’s 24-year-old son, Gus, is dead of a gunshot wound.
Authorities say at this stage in the investigation, they're looking at the altercation as an attempted murder and suicide.
Deeds, who is 55, has served the 25th district since 2001.
