Australian college baseball player shot and killed by 'bored' Oklahoma teens
Police say three boys followed Christopher Lane and shot him in the back
because they 'didn't have anything to do'
Tuesday 20 August 2013
An Australian college baseball player out for a jog in an Oklahoma
neighborhood was shot and killed by three "bored" teenagers who decided to
kill someone for fun, police said.
Christopher Lane, who was visiting the town of Duncan, where his girlfriend
and her family live, had passed a home where the boys were staying and that
apparently led to him being killed, police chief Danny Ford said on Monday.
A 17-year-old in the group has given a detailed confession to police, but
investigators haven't found the weapon used in last week's shooting, Ford
said. That teen and the others – aged 15 and 16 – remain in custody; Ford
said the district attorney is expected to file first-degree murder charges
on Tuesday. It wasn't known if the three would be charged as adults or
juveniles. They are to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.
"They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: 'There's our target,'"
Ford said. "The boy who has talked to us said, 'We were bored and didn't
have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.'"
He said they followed the 22-year-old Lane, a student from Melbourne who was
attending college on a baseball scholarship, in a car and shot him in the
back before driving off. Ford told the television station KOCO in Oklahoma
City that one of the teens said they shot Lane for "the fun of it."
"He didn't deserve any of this," Lane's girlfriend, Sarah Harper, told the
Australian Broadcasting Corp. "It's heartbreaking that it was such a random
choice those guys made that drastically altered so many lives in the process
."

Witnesses rushed to help Lane after hearing a shot Friday and seeing him
stagger and collapse on a road in Duncan, a south-central Oklahoma town of
about 24,000 residents. "He was face down on the ground and he was shot in
the back with a .22 revolver," builder Richard Rhodes told Australian
broadcasters near a roadside memorial at the scene. "I had another lady stop
and we tried CPR on him. And he passed away right here."
Harper said she and Lane had returned to the US from Australia last week.
Lane attended East Central University in Ada, about 85 miles west of Duncan.
He started 14 games at catcher last year and was entering his senior year.
"He was an absolute joy to coach," baseball coach Dino Rosato said in a
statement issued by the school. "Chris was an extremely well-respected
teammate. He set a great example for all of his team-mates, but more
importantly for the younger players. He was a mature student-athlete who his
teammates could look to for advice and support."
Lane's father told Australian broadcasters there was no explanation for his
son's death. "It is heartless and to try to understand it is a short way to
insanity," Peter Lane said.
Ford would not say how many times Christopher Lane was shot. Autopsy results
are pending. |
