'Blade Runner' Oscar Pistorius Kept Weapons in His Bedroom for Security, Journalist Says

"There have been rumors about him not being a nice person, and not having a good track record as far as some girlfriends are concerned," he said. "I've never encountered that side of Oscar Pistorius, because every time I've met the man, he's been an absolute gentleman."

A spokesperson for Pistorius at Fast Track in London said Pistorius is "assisting the police with their investigation, but there will be no further comment until matters become clearer."
