Investigators said when they arrived at the scene, they found 50-year-old Rebecca Sedille shot in the head. She was taken to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Police said after questioning the victim's husband, 24-year-old Arthur John Sedille, he was arrested on one count of first-degree murder.
Police did not say what led up to the shooting. Investigators later said that Sedille told them the shooting was an accident.
KOCO-TV could not find any criminal records for Sedille.
Police have not filed any charges against Sedille yet. He is being held in the Oklahoma County Jail.
Neighbors said they live in a quiet community and that they are shocked by the shooting.
"It really hits home when its right next door and you see these people every day," neighbor Shari Mize said.
Neighbors said the couple kept to themselves and had been in the house for about six months.
Resident Josh Wright said, "You never know who lives beside you. You never know what's gone on in the house beside you."
