OK: Exchange of Shots in Harrah. Both Parties Claim Justification

The dispute left a woman shot in the side and sent one man to the Oklahoma County Detention Center.

Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office officials said one shooter was defending his property and the other accused shooter, 21-year-old Marlon Wilson, was recorded on body camera telling a deputy he shot back in self-defense.

A deputy pulled over Wilson near Northeast 108th Street and Harrah Road after receiving reports of shots fired in the area. During their exchange, Wilson told the deputy he had a firearm in the car and that he shot back at the property owner. Wilson told the deputy the property owner fired at his car as he picked up friends from the area.

“The neighbor comes out with a rifle and either shoots in the ground as a warning or shoots toward the vehicle,” said Aaron Brilbeck, Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office. “We’re not sure just yet.”

Deputies said Wilson fired back as he drove away from the home. Wilson told the deputy the other person had a rifle, and he was trying to get his friend away from the home.
