Oscar Pistorius Double amputee and Paralympic gold medallist Oscar Pistorius has reportedly shot and killed his girlfriend, after mistaking her for a burglar.
South African media are reporting the incident happened at his Silver Lakes home at around 4am on Thursday morning.
Captain Sarah Mcira confirmed to a South African website that Pistorius's girlfriend was shot in the head and arm and died at the scene.
Pistorius, 26, dubbed Blade Runner for the blade-like prosthetics he wears for his double under-knee amputation, is reportedly in police custody.
Pistorius became the first double leg amputee to take part in the Olympics when he entered the men's 400 metre race and was a member of the men's 4 x 400 metre relay team at the 2012 London Games.
He won gold at the 2012 Paralympics in the men's 400 metre race in a Paralympics record time of 46.68 seconds and in the 4x100 relay in a world record time of 41.78 seconds.
He also won silver in the 200 metre race with a world record time of 21.30 seconds in the semifinal.
Pistorius had his legs amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old after he was born with a congenital absence of a fibula in both legs.
Could this be a cover story in order not to be charged with murder?
This is just too sad.
