The bullet almost hit the foot of Kevin Lerena, a boxer and mutual friend of Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp.

"I got a huge fright, because the bullet hit the ground just centimetres from my foot ... but it really was just a freak accident," Lerena told Beeld.

He said he had visited the restaurant with a group of friends who included Pistorius and Steenkamp.

"I must emphasise that the gun belonged to one of Pistorius' friends --I'm not going to mention his name. Oscar just wanted to look at the gun, and it sort of snagged on his pants, releasing the safety catch. A shot went off. I wouldn't call him negligent, it was just an accident. He apologised to me for days afterwards," Lerena said.

The restaurant did not report the incident to the police, as Pistorius and Steenkamp were regular customers.

"I went to investigate when I heard the shot, but they all denied it," said Tashas' manager, Jason Loupis.

***************
That is where the rot starts. What else did he get away with just because he is Oscar? Drunken boating? Threats of violence?

the media has been looking for a story to shove in our faces and this could not have come at a better time. beggining of thge year and all year we are going to be bombarded with this.

high profile cases like this tend to bring the vulture in jurnalists and once vultures smell blood they go for the kill

prepare to be witness to all sorts of crazy stuff we are going to be fed about the oscar story. even international media are all over this guy. the fall from grace.

"If i did it i would have done it like this"-oscar pistorious tells all, would be a best seller.

Damn, oscar loves guns, they must invistigate him for being an arms dealer as well, maybe he supplied the rebels arrested in Limpopo recently.
