A 78-year-old Colorado man was shot and killed Wednesday night in an Oklahoma town, authorities say.

“Special agents have learned Weeaks got into a verbal altercation with another person inside the house,” the OSBI said in a news release. “Weeaks was told to leave the property. Both Weeaks and the shooter produced firearms. The shooter fired one shot, killing Weeaks.”
Authorities say they have completed interviewed, collected evidence and documented the scene, which is in western Oklahoma.
