NBC is carrying it: http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Senator-Creigh-Deeds-Assaulted-in-Bath-County-Home--232498761.html

The source is "Democratic sources" though - so wait for the police report.

--- Quote ---Former Virginia governor candidate Creigh Deeds is fighting for his life after he was brutally stabbed by his own 24-year-old son, who then committed suicide - just one day after he was committed to a psychiatric ward but released because there were no beds available.

Deeds, a state senator, is in critical condition at University of Virginia hospital after he was found stumbling away from his home in rural Bath County, Virginia, by a cousin who happened to be driving by.

Deeds was stabbed multiple times in the head and torso and lost large amounts of blood.

The veteran Democratic state legislator's son Gus was found shot dead, as well.

Gus had been evaluated by psychiatrists at a mental hospital on Monday, but could not be committed because there was no room at any mental health wards in all of western Virginia, according to reports.
