Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius has been charged with murder after his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was fatally shot in his home outside the capitol of South Africa.
Oscar Pistorius, 26, won two gold medals and a silver at last year’s Paralympic Games in London. In 2012, he became the first double-amputee sprinter to race in the Olympics, where he reached the 400-meter semifinal. He races using carbon fiber prosthetic blades, which gave him the nickname Blade Runner.
