Wagoner -
A man has been arrested after police say he shot his wife to death late Sunday night in Wagoner County.

It happened in Tullahassee, about 30 miles southeast of Tulsa.

The Wagoner County Sheriff's Department says Marvin Gaines called 911 about 11 p.m. Sunday night and said he had shot his wife. When deputies arrived on scene, paramedics were already there.

But despite their best efforts, Mae Gaines died. Investigators say the shooting was related to a domestic dispute; however the sheriff's office says they have had no history with the family, who they say has lived in the area for a long time.

Marvin Gaines was arrested, but has not been charged with anything at this time. The investigation into the incident continues.

Mae Gaines was an accountant for the Muskogee Phoenix newspaper. She had several children, including two sons who played basketball for Northeastern State University.

Dominique Gaines and his brother Darnell Hinson are currently playing overseas in Puerto Rico and Poland. According to a Spanish language web site, primahora.com, the brothers are headed back to Muskogee.
