In the pre-dawn hours of October 28, 2024, a domestic disturbance at a home in Sarpy County, Omaha, south of Highway 50 and Giles Road, ended with 45-year-old Rebecca Nutter Geiger found fatally shot inside her residence. Deputies responding to a 911 call from Geiger’s 19-year-old daughter encountered gunfire when they arrived; the daughter reported her father, 44-year-old Rory Geiger, had shot his wife and was threatening her with a firearm. A 14-year-old daughter was also in the house.

Law enforcement returned fire and later found both Rebecca Geiger and Rory Geiger deceased. Investigators have identified Rory Geiger as the suspect in Rebecca’s death and are examining whether his wounds were self-inflicted or the result of the exchange with deputies. Five deputies involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave while the incident is reviewed; no deputies were injured. Deputies had responded to a separate domestic incident at the same address about a month earlier.

Rebecca Geiger taught special services at Westside High School and was remembered by the district for her work with students and colleagues. Does anyone who knew Rebecca or the family have information that could help clarify what happened that morning?
