Two teenagers were charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a college baseball player out for a jog in Oklahoma — a crime that one teen said they carried out simply because they were bored, according to police.
JFE Jr., 15, and CAL, 16, were charged with murder. A third teenager, 17, was charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact and with firing a weapon. The first two teens were charged as adults, the third as a juvenile.
The charges were unveiled at a hearing in Duncan, Okla. The ballplayer, Christopher Lane, was visiting the town, where his girlfriend lives, the police chief told The Associated Press. He passed a home where the teens were staying and was gunned down at random, the chief said.

I'm sorry, and I apologize if this come off wrong. I happen to be getting a migraine and one symptom is crankiness... Anyway, it certainly seems random enough to me. It's horrifying. He was jogging while visiting his girlfriends hometown. WTH?..
At the link it is said they are deciding whether they will be charged as adults.
IDK... It's just horrifying. It doesnt matter where he came from, whether its across the street, next door, the next town or another country. This man isn't even a us citizen or its temporary due to college. He's from Australia here on scholarship. :banghead:
Moo and all that..
