Sheriff's Office: Man Commits Suicide after Raping Wife

A man allegedly committed suicide earlier this morning after a woman called 911 to report being held hostage and raped in her home by her husband, according to Corporal Ashley Henson, Paulding County Sheriff's Office.

The woman went to a neighbor’s home to call 911, Henson said in an email. Once deputies arrived on the scene they surrounded the residence. While on the perimeter of the residence they heard a lone gunshot.  

A short while later, the PCSO SWAT team made entry into the residence and confirmed that the man had committed suicide. 

The Sheriff's Office is not yet releasing the names of the individuals involved.
