New Detail in Pistorious Case: Girlfriend Shot Four Times Through Bathroom Door

Runner Oscar Pistorius has been charged with murder in model Reeva
Steenkamp's death and detectives are examining role of a blood-stained
cricket bat, newspaper reports.
Steenkamp was still alive when Pistorius carried her downstairs, an
official says
Model Reeva Steenkamp was shot four times through the bathroom door at
the home of Olympian Oscar Pistorius , a South African official
familiar with the case told CNN on Monday.
She was alive after she was shot and was carried downstairs by
Pistorius, said the official, who was not authorized to release
details to the media.
A blood-stained cricket bat has also emerged as key evidence in the
case, according to the City Press newspaper of Johannesburg.
Detectives are working to determine whether the bat was used to attack
Steenkamp or she used it in self-defense, the newspaper reported,
citing a source with inside knowledge of the case. Detectives are also
looking into the possibility that Pistorius used the bat to break down
the bathroom door.
