OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Nichols Hills doctor accused of killing his 9-year-old son has been ordered to undergo a competency evaluation by an Oklahoma District Court judge.

As Dr. Stephen Wolf entered a courtroom Friday, reporters asked the doctor if he was sorry for what did.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Of course, I'm sorry," Wolf answered.

Judge Virgil Black signed the order this afternoon for Wolf.
