Officer Shoots Another Officer In The Foot

January 24, 2007

The Eugene police officer injured Monday when a colleague's gun accidentally fired has been identified as Matthew Lowen, who joined the force a little more than two years ago.

A bullet from a 9 mm long gun went through Lowen's foot early Monday while the SWAT team helped vice narcotics detectives serve a warrant at a north Eugene home.

Police refused to name the officer whose gun fired the bullet. He has been described as a veteran officer.

Neither the police department nor Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene would release information about Lowen's condition Tuesday. A hospital spokeswoman would not say whether Lowen had been admitted.

Lowen, 29, joined the department in October 2004. He is a 1996 graduate of Churchill High School, where he was senior class president and played on the football team for three years.

He earned a degree in human biology from the University of Northern Colorado and spent four years in the Army.

Lowen and two other members of the SWAT team were climbing a fence shortly before 6 a.m. when the other officer's gun discharged.

The shooting is under investigation, and police have said they suspect officer error or a mechanical malfunction is to blame.

Paramedics accompany the SWAT team to all high-risk events, so Lowen received immediate treatment and was taken to the hospital, police said.

Detectives arrested two people at the house on North Danebo Avenue.

Roy Simon Oueis, 45, was arraigned Tuesday in Lane County Circuit Court for being a felon in possession of a firearm and possessing methamphetamine. He also is accused of violating probation.

He was being held in the Lane County Jail.

Jennifer Renee Gilman, 31, was arrested on an unrelated drug warrant.

Officers seized a rifle and placed two children, ages 7 and 8, into protective custody.
