yikes........not good for him as I think there is more to this than we think?

[DonLever]

He is supposed to have killed his girlfriend. He mistaken her for an intruder.

His girlfriend:

Supposedly, she was trying to surprise him at his home for Valentine's Day, and he thought she was a burglar and shot her.

If that really is the truth (skeptical) it is incredibly sad.

There did not appear to be signs of forced entry at the home, Beukes said.

She also said there had been "previous incidents" at the home -- "allegations of a domestic nature."

Beukes said that police were alerted to the shooting by neighbors and that residents "heard things earlier."

A pistol was recovered at the scene, police said.

When police arrived, Pistorius tried to run for it... But his legs were in the bathroom.

Some of you are terrible people.

But i laughed anyways

[Jaimito]

Doesn't make any sense. She was shot twice.

maybe god shouldn't have given him fingers.

what a waste of human life, I am talking about the girl.

[sedated]

Probably not a good idea to surprise someone with a gun, I guess. Seems weird he shot her twice though.

[Bang Bang Boogie]

Apparently police are denying reports that he thought there was a burglar inside his house. There is more to this story than what we know right now.

Sad, Pistorius seemed like a really good dude and an inspirational athlete.

[Jaimito]

Not inspirational any more.

Girl shot 4 times, head, chest, arm. Effin animal.

Wow. What is happening to Nike's sponsor athletes.

Horrifying news. So many different stories of it possibly being an accident, a surprise, past histories of domestic abuse, etcetcetc. Hope to hear the truth soon.

Man's an inspiration because of everything he's overcome but his legacy is completely tarnished and reputation destroyed if he's convicted of murder.

[Jaimito]

Oh the irony.

from CNN:

Nike pulled an ad featuring Pistorius from its website Thursday. The ad showed Pistorius taking off for a run, and contained the words" I am the bullet in the chamber."
