State Senator (VA) Deeds - very weird

He sustained multiple stab wounds, his son was shot and later died in the house. But, investigators are not looking for suspects! Sounds like Deeds' son may have attempted to kill his father then committed suicide. Deeds is talking to investigators, but they can't tell us what he said. So tragic.

Democratic sources tell News4 that Deeds' son Austin "Gus" Deeds attacked his father Tuesday morning before turning a gun on himself. Police say Gus Deeds died at the scene.
