(CBS) OKLAHOMA CITY - An Australian baseball player out for
a jog in an Oklahoma neighborhood was shot and killed last week 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 gunned down at random, Police
Chief Danny Ford said 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 - ages 15 and 16 - remain in
custody, and Ford said the district attorney is expected to file first-degree
murder charges Tuesday. It wasn't known if the three will be charged as adults
or juveniles. They are scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.
