"The memorial at the spot where Australian exchange student Christopher Lane was gunned down continued to grow Wednesday. One local mother said her son could have been the next victim if the boys accused in the crime had not been arrested.The three boys accused of the killing were arrested in a church parking lot across the street from Shelia Haynes\u2019 home.\u201CI\u2019m still in disbelief,\u201D she said. \u201CI really am.\u201DHaynes said two of the boys used to be friends with her 17-year-old son.\u201CI had heard different things about them, you know what I mean?\u201D Haynes said. \u201CBut never in a million years would I have thought they would have dared to do such a thing.\u201DAfter they allegedly killed the college baseball star, they drove nearly three miles, parked and waited. Haynes was out celebrating her birthday, but her 17-year-old son, who she said had a falling-out with the boys, was inside the home.\u201CI thank God and I believe it was His angels and His grace and mercy that his dad happened to be there and was able to stop the situation,\u201D Haynes said.The boy\u2019s father spotted the teens across the street and knew they had a problem with his son.\u201CThey are just young wannabes trying to be like gangs they heard of elsewhere, and think, \u2018Oh, we are going to make things happen in Duncan and get recognized,\u2019\u201D she said.The father called 911 and reported the boys had guns. Haynes said if the boys had gone undetected, she believes they would have killed again.She said she is worried about gang retaliation, and is keeping her son away from school and away from her home in a safe location."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
