                 Pistorius Continues Testimony in Murder Trial

   South African runner Oscar Pistorius is testifying again in his trial
   over the killing of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his Pretoria
   home last year.
   Pistorius took the witness stand Monday as prosecutor Gerrie Nel
   cross-examined him for a fourth day.
   The prosecution says Pistorius intentionally shot Steenkamp, and has
   questioned his reasoning for firing through a locked door into the
   bathroom where she was standing. Nel has used tough questioning to try
   to portray Pistorius as prone to anger and careless with guns, and
   pressed Pistorius to take responsibility for the killing.
   The athlete insists he thought he was shooting at a nighttime intruder.
   Pistorius is known as the "blade runner" for his carbon-fiber
   prosthetic legs. He has won many Paralympic Games medals, and was the
   first double amputee to compete in the Olympics.
