Pretoria, South Africa (CNN) -- A woman was found shot and killed in the Pretoria home belonging to South African Olympian Oscar Pistorius, nicknamed the "Blade Runner," South African police said Thursday.

Brig. Denice Beukes said they have arrested a 26-year-old man in connection with the shooting and that he will appear in Pretoria magistrate court sometime Thursday.

Pistorius, who is 26, was cooperating with police.

A spokeswoman for Pistorius declined to comment on the report when CNN reached her by phone.

Latest reports are they have charged Pistorius with murder.

The rumor that I head this morning was that he thought she was an intruder, she was sneaking into his place to wake him up for a Valentines day surprise. That's just tragic if true.

I just read about this. What a tragedy. I can't even imagine the pain he must feel (if it was an honest mistake which I'm assuming it was based on the details)

She was supposedly shot several times in the head and elsewhere. It's looking like a murder unfortunately. The article I read said that police were called to his home several times for domestic calls.

He has been charged with murder.

Well in that case I retract my last post. I thought he shot her thinking she was a burglar

Well that's tragic in a completely different way. After my first post, I went back and read the updated news story (I originally heard it several hours ago) and the accidental shooting rumor looks to be false.

Wow, what a shame. She's beautiful.

What a psycho! I would not want to be in prison without legs.

[Chew]

sounds like their day started off on the wrong foot...

[Elessar78]

I think the media is glad this story has legs.

[headexplode]

This story is really bizarre. This guy was considered a global hero for overcoming adversity and now he stands accused of murder. I mean, it really has me stumped.

[mojo]

The more I look at the details of this case, the more I'm convinced that once this goes to trial he won't have a leg to stand on.

[Hersh]

Any bets on this being a case of roid rage??

[Chew]

he was acting strange the night before. I knew something was afoot...

[Dan T.]

Will the Stand Your Ground principle apply in this case?

[StillUnknown]

You all are horrible (me as well for laughing )

[Chew]

Will the Stand Your Ground principle apply in this case?

he better hope so. if not, he's shot himself in the foot.

Whew. When he's sentenced and wakes up in prison that first morning, he's gonna want to give an arm...and a leg to get out.

[Predicto]

Not to be too arch about it, but seriously, what a heel. He's a disgusting toed. I hope they nail him to the wall. On the other hand, I wish they would talus more about what he intendoned by this. He might have just done it to get attenshin.

If he is a fascial liar, he might be freed, ankle another woman someday.

She's beautiful...great legs! I guess it's true about opposites attract.
