It’s now being reported that, Austin (Gus) Deeds is the one who stabbed his father, Creigh Deeds, 55, and then turned a gun on himself. Deeds, who was arrested on underage drinking charges in 2009, was found dead in the home.
In 2009, Creigh ran for governor and lost to, Bob McDonnell – current governor – who releases this 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.”
Creigh Deeds remains in critical condition.
