Olympic Runner Oscar Pistorius Charged With Murder

Olympic and Paralympic track star Oscar Pistorius was charged with murder after his girlfriend was shot and killed at his home in South Africa earlier Thursday morning, USA Today reports.

The circumstances of the incident are still unclear but police in South Africa said they would oppose bail when the Paralympic gold medalist appears in court Friday. The hearing was scheduled for Thursday afternoon but was delayed to give forensics investigators time to do their work, the Associated Press reported.

Police in South Africa do not name suspects in crimes until they have appeared in court but police spokesperson Brigadier Denise Beukes said that Pistorius was at his home after the death of the victim and that “there is no other suspect involved,” The Associated Press reported.
