WATCH Obama Omit God While Reciting The Gettysburg Address

Creigh Deeds stabbed inside Bath County home. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP/WJLA) - Creigh Deeds is best known as a former candidate for governor and attorney general. But Charlottesville City Councilmember Kristin Seikos knows Deeds as a colleague and friend. And like so many others thinking about him on Tuesday night, she is praying for him and his family. Deeds is currently in fair condition after being stabbed early Monday morning after an altercation with his 24-year-old son inside his Bath County home, authorities say. Deeds' son, Gus, was also found dead from a gunshot wound, authorities say, and a Virginia State Police spokesperson says that the incident may have been an attempted murder/suicide. Authorities declined to explicitly say that Gus Deeds stabbed his father, but VSP spokeswoman Corinne Geller says that there was an altercation between father and son before the stabbing and shooting. Virginia State Police officials say that Deeds was discovered by a cousin who saw the senator, who had been stabbed several times in the head and torso, walking near his home on Vineyard Drive in the Millboro community at about 7:30 a.m. The wounded senator was found walking toward a nearby road by his cousin, who drove Deeds back to the cousin's home and called 911. He was then was then airlifted to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville for treatment. Shortly after the senator was found stabbed, his son was discovered suffering from gunshot wounds inside the family home. He died at the scene after first responders were not able to stabilize his condition or fly him to the hospital.
