Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius has been arrested over the fatal shooting of his girlfriend at his home in Pretoria, local media reports say.
Lieutenant Colonel Katlego Mogale told the AP news agency that police received a call on Thursday morning that there had been a shooting at Pistorius' home.
Mogale said that when police arrived they found paramedics trying to revive a 30-year-old woman who had been shot an unspecified number of times. The woman died at the home, Mogale said.
Officers found a 9mm pistol at the scene and took the 26-year-old Pistorius into custody. Mogale said Pistorius was expected to appear in court later on Thursday.
Talk Radio 702 said Pistorius was believed to have shot his girlfriend, a model, in the head and
arm, although the circumstances were unclear. He may have mistaken her for a burglar, the radio report said.
