Rape suspect shoots self in head, cops say

A man suspected of raping and beating a woman shot himself in the head when El Dorado County sheriff's deputies approaches his residence, authorities said.

Kenneth John Lowry, 31, of Shingle Springs survived the gunshot wound and was taken to Sutter Roseville Medical Center. His condition was not immediately available.

Deputies said they received a call at 6 a.m. Monday from a 43-year-old woman who reported she had been raped and beaten by a man she was dating. The woman said she escaped from the man's home in the 5000 block of Old Frenchtown Road in Shingle Springs.

Deputies transported her to Marshall Medical Center in Placerville, where her condition was described as moderate. Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Bryan Golmitz said deputies searched the area near Old Frenchtown Road but were unable to find the suspect. At 3p.m., an Old Frenchtown Road resident called the Sheriff's Department to report that Lowry was at his house.

Golmitz said in an e-mail that when deputies were walking toward the residence, Lowry shot himself in the head. Lowry was flown by helicopter to Sutter Roseville Medical Center.
