By Cecile Antonie, John Newland and Jason Cumming, NBC News
A woman has been found shot dead at the South African home of Olympic and Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius, police said Thursday.
Britain's Sky News reported that the woman had been shot in the head and arm and said the 26-year-old Pistorius was being interviewed by police in Pretoria.
Citing local reports, Reuters reported that the victim was believed to be Pistorius' girlfriend and that the sprinter may have mistaken her for a burglar. Police would not confirm the woman's identity.
"We can confirm a 26-year-old man has been taken into custody following a complaint by a neighbor that there was a shooting at the home of Oscar Pistorius," a police spokesman told NBC News. "He is being charged with murder and he will appear in the Pretoria regional court later this afternoon."
The Associated Press and several South African media outlets reported that Pistorius had been arrested and was being questioned, and that a 9mm handgun had been found at his home in the luxurious Silver Woods gated community.

9mm owners: If you need counseling, please, get it. No need to shoot anyone because you're too proud to get the help you need.
