Bath County sheriff’s deputies responded to a non-emergency call for assistance to State Sen. Creigh Deeds’ home on Monday, the day before Deeds was stabbed in an altercation with his son, Gus Deeds, 24, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the attack.

deeds-header-newThat was the latest revelations from Virginia State Police, which is continuing its investigation into the tragic sequence of events involving Sen. Deeds and his son.

Sen. Deeds was transported to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, where he was originally listed in critical condition from several stab wounds to his head and upper torso. He is now in good condition.

A weapon believed to have been used in the attack on Sen. Deeds has been identified, but State Police are not releasing details on the type of weapon until the Virginia Department of Forensic Evidence makes confirmation of whether or not it was used in the attack.

The State Police did confirm the non-emergency call made to the Deeds residence on Monday. According to a State Police report, no arrest was made, nor any charges placed.

The State Police also said that there is no record of any 911 or non-emergency calls to the residence prior to Monday.
