(Photo: Robert Deutsch, USA TODAY) South African media are reporting that Paralympic gold medalist Oscar Pistorius has allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend after mistaking her for an intruder at his home early Thursday morning. Multiple media outlets in the country, including the Mail & Guardian, citing local police, say the woman died at the scene at the athlete's house in Pretoria. The original source of the report appears to be Beeld, an Afrikaans-language daily newspaper. Police spokesperson Captain Sarah Mcirca confirmed to South African media that the victim was shot in the arm and head. Pistorius, 26, made history by being the first double amputee to take part in the Olympics. Story Highlights
