A man accused of shooting his wife to death admitted to police he was being careless with a weapon and had smoked synthetic marijuana earlier in the day, court records show.

Bernard Eugene Morris, 57, was arrested on a manslaughter complaint.

About 1:55 a.m. Monday, officers found Cynthia Morris, 53, dead at 124 NW 80 with a gunshot wound to her torso, according to the probable cause affidavit filed in Oklahoma County District Court.

Her husband told police that he was bored about 1:30 a.m. and grabbed the firearm from a closet. As he was climbing into bed with it, his finger was on the trigger and the gun went off, fatally wounded his wife, according to the affidavit.
