A pastor at a northwest Oklahoma City church who has been a vocal proponent of gun rights has been cleared of wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy at the pastor’s home.

Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said Tuesday that Windsor Hills Baptist Church Pastor Tom Vineyard, 48, was justified in using deadly force in the shooting Saturday afternoon of Keontre Reese.

“It was completely legitimate,” Prater said. “It was legitimate as could be.”

Prater said Vineyard was Christmas shopping Saturday when he received a notification from his alarm company that a motion detector had been activated in his house in the 2400 block of N Moulton Drive.
