Sentencing Set in Muskogee Mall Shooting
A man convicted in the fatal shooting of a teenager is scheduled to be sentenced.
Dondray Fowler is due in court Wednesday afternoon to be sentenced in the 2010 shooting death of 17-year-old Jarrod Reed at Arrowhead Mall in Muskogee.
He was convicted of first-degree murder in July. Prosecutors say Fowler intentionally shot Reed and wounded four others at the mall, but he claimed the shooting was self-defense.
Fowler was intimidated during an argument between rival gang members.
The jury recommended a life sentence for Fowler but his attorney's are planning an appeal.

Okla. Senator says tornado aid should be paid for
May 21, 2013 14:50 GMT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Conservative Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn says that any additional federal aid to help tornado victims and to rebuild devastated areas of his state should be financed with cuts to other programs in the government's $3.6 trillion budget.
Spokesman John Hart says it's a position Coburn has consistently held regarding federal spending on disasters dating to the 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City.
But federal disaster aid such as $60 billion passed earlier this year to rebuild coastal states including New York and New Jersey from Superstorm Sandy typically is approved as "emergency" spending that is simply added to the budget deficit. That may happen again if more aid is need for Oklahoma.
Federal disaster aid coffers remain flush from the infusion of Sandy aid.
