Police department officials say an officer who has been placed on administrative leave after shooting a teenager acted appropriately when he investigated gunshots at an apartment complex in Warr Acres. Police Capt. Steve McCool says the officer went to the apartment complex to make sure nobody needed any help until a Warr Acres police officer could arrive.

Authorities say 18-year-old Daryl Ray Wilson was shot Saturday evening in an apartment complex parking in the northwestern Oklahoma City suburb. McCool says Officer Grant Brooks shot Wilson once in the head.

Wilson remains at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center, but hospital officials would not confirm he is there and police officials would not disclose his condition.

McCool says Brooks, who has been with the department for about a year, was responding to an unrelated call when he heard gunshots in rapid succession a block away. Witnesses indicated the shots came from apartments within the Warr Acres city limits.
