“We know he came out angry at one of them,” Msgt. Gary Knight with the Oklahoma City Police Department said. “An argument ensued. I don’t know what the argument was about but that led to two people being shot.”

Officers found the second victim barely breathing on the second floor near Morrow's apartment. Police said the victim was shot in the chest and taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Neighbors watched as the tactical team surrounded the suspect's apartment. Morrow stayed barricaded inside for nearly seven hours.

“After a period of time they were able to convince him to come out of his apartment,” Knight said. “At which time he surrendered and was taken into custody.”

Neighbors were relieved to know the standoff had a peaceful ending.

Morrow was booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on one complaint of assault and battery with a deadly weapon and a felon in possession of a firearm.
