A man with a gunshot wound in his abdomen who was found in a driveway in Damascus may have attempted suicide, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff office.

Sheriff deputy Ben Frazier said the gunshot wound was possibly self-inflicted.

The man, who was not identified, was transported to an unnamed hospital.

An investigation by sheriff deputies and the Damascus Police revealed the man had an argument with his wife and walked outside the house near SE 242nd Avenue and SE Tillstrom Road. The wife heard a loud noise, went outside and discovered her husband may have shot himself.

A neighbor helped the man until Clackamas County Fire, American Medical Response and Gresham Fire arrived. The man was then transported by Life Flight to an area hospital.
