[Photograph 2012.201.B1335.0022]

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma Times newspaper. Caption: "The wife of a slain OKC World War II hero said Saturday she "didn't mean to kill him - just scare him." Mrs. Marie Underwood is being held in a Biloxi, Miss., jail, pending investigation into the murder of her husband, Sgt. Dave Underwood, who was shot to death with a.22 rifle while the couple argued in their trailer home near the local air force base where he was stationed. The couple had been married almost 13 years, but neighbors said they often quarreled, and Mrs. Underwood had accused her husband of excessive drinking and abuse. He was shot after returning home from a local bar. Underwood's family members are rallying around Marie, and are offering support, arranging for bond as well as offering to bring her back to OKC from Biloxi."
