PAPILLION, Neb. (WOWT) - Several shots were heard on video from body-worn cameras as Sarpy County Sheriff's deputies responded to the home where they would later find an Omaha teacher dead. Sarpy County Sheriff Jeff Davis walked through the footage during a news conference Thursday morning — the second such update he has given since deputies found Rebecca Geiger, 45, dead in her Chalco Hills-area home in the early hours of Monday, Oct. 28. Deputies were responding to the home after a report of a domestic violence incident. Authorities said Geiger's 19-year-old daughter had called 911 telling operators her father, 44-year-old Rory Geiger, had shot her mother — and that he had a gun pointed at her. The responsed ended in a shootout at the home near South 143rd Street and Meadows Parkway. Deputies then went into the home and found Rory Geiger deceased. Deputies found several guns in the house. Authorities had been to the house about a month earlier for an incident, and were told not to return. Investigators have been looking at bodycams worn by the deputies, as well as cameras inside and outside the home. Previously, they were not sure whether Rory Geiger's fatal wounds were self-inflicted or from a shot fired by a Sarpy County deputy. Five deputies involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave, authorities say. None of them were injured. Rebecca Geiger was a special education teacher who had just started her 10th year at Westside High School. "She was just a very kind teacher," said Elizabeth Power with Westdside Community Schools . "She was so good at helping her students feel very seen and very loved and very much like they belonged here at Westside High School, which is such an important thing for any student, especially her students."
