"'Blade Runner' Pistorius In Tears As Murder Charge Is Filed" By: Sydney Magnall

Oscar Pistorius, the south African 'blade runner', started crying on Friday after being charged with "shooting dead his girlfriend in his Pretoria house,". According to one source "The 26-year-old Olympic and Paralympic superstar stood with head bowed in front of magistrate Desmond Nair to hear the murder charge read out, then started sobbing, covering his face with his hands." Police were called to his home on thursday. At his house they found his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, shot four times. One source said " it looks like she was shot through a bathroom door." Oscar pistorius is a double amputee. He has had many accomplishments in the athletic world that have inspired many people. Pistourious was born without a fibula bone below his knees. He is called Blade runner because of his prosthetic legs. In the London Olympics he was the first double amputee to compete in the Olympics. 

I really hope they figure out this case. Its so awful to think such a good inspiring man would of done this.
