Sarpy County Sheriff’s investigators said a check well-being call in the Lakewood Villages housing ended with a gruesome discovery Wednesday.

When the first deputy arrived, he forced entry into the house. A 68-year-old man was found dead in the garage and a 67-year-old woman was found suffering from a gunshot wound. She was rushed to the hospital from the scene.

"We've taken a female to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in critical condition," Sheriff Jeff Davis told 6 News at the scene. "She suffered a gunshot wound to the head. We also have another victim who's deceased inside the residence."

Family and friends rushed to the house when they learned of the shooting. Ted Croft said the woman taken to the hospital was his mother.

"'She was shot that's all I know," said Croft. He said as she was being placed into the ambulance she saw that he was there.

"She stuck her head up and waved. So we're hoping for the best," he said.

6 News has learned the woman was scheduled for surgery Wednesday evening at Nebraska Medicine so doctors could remove shrapnel from her wound. Her son says, prior to the surgery, she was alert and in good spirits.

Family said the couple who lived there had not been getting along. Sheriff Davis said they are not looking for any suspects at this time.

Investigators said there is no danger to the surrounding neighborhoods.
