Steenkamp was shot in the arm and head according to police spokesperson Captain Sarah Mcirca. A 9mm pistol was recovered at the scene.

Oscar Pistorius, center, left the police station in Pretoria East in South Africa to be taken into custody on Thursday after a woman was fatally shot in his home.

Early Thursday morning, the police responded to a report of gunshots in the upscale housing complex where Mr. Pistorius lives. When they arrived they found a woman being treated by paramedics. Pistorius was arrested at the scene. He is not expected to receive bail.

A case of murder has been opened," said Col. Katlego Mogale, a police spokeswoman.

There have been some reports that the victim was mistaken for a burglar.

"We have also taken cognizance of the media reports during the morning of an alleged break in or that the young lady was mistaken to be a burglar," Brigadier Denise Beukes said. "Obviously our forensic investigation is still ongoing and we're not sure where this report came from. ... Our detectives have been on the scene, our forensic investigators have been on the scene and the investigation is ongoing."

BBC's Andrew Harding reports that neighbors heard an altercation at the house late last night before shots were fired

Police said there have been "previous incidents" of a domestic nature reported at Pistorius' home.

Christopher Dorner is believed to be dead after a gun battle with police in Big Bear, California on Tuesday. The former LAPD officer had been the subject of a massive manhunt after he murdered Monica Quan, the daughter of his police union representative, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence.

Dorner later killed Officer Michael Crain and wounded Crain's partner when he ambushed their patrol car last Thursday. He also wounded an LAPD cop who chased him in the city of Corona.

The disgruntled ex-cop had promised to wage war against the LAPD after he was fired from the department. He claimed he was railroaded out of the department after filing a brutality report against another officer and said a culture of racism and misconduct continues within the department.

L.A. authorities had issued a $1 million reward for Dorner's capture.


The fugitive was finally tracked down in Big Bear yesterday after California Fish and Wildlife wardens spotted him driving a purple Nissan. A chase and gun battle ensued. Dorner crashed his car and fled on foot before hijacking another vehicle.

"Christopher Dorner jumped out in front of my truck. He apparently had crashed whatever vehicle he was driving, and he stopped me at gunpoint," 61-year old Richard Heltebrake told CBS. "He said, 'I don't want to hurt you. Just get out and start walking up the road and take your dog with you,'"

Dorner was eventually cornered after he broke into an abandoned cabin.


After a firefight, the cabin caught on fire. Dorner is believed to have died in the fire, but not before he killed an officer and wounded another. It will be several days before Dorner's body is positively identified.

CBS caught dramatic footage of the firefight and cabin fire.

Audio After The Jump

 

Lil Wayne has said a lot of controversial things in songs throughout his career, but he appears to have really crossed the line in his latest collaboration with Future titled "Karate Chop" remix.

 

In the song Wayne raps “I pop alot of pain pills. Bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels/Beat that p*ssy up like Emmett Till.”.

 

Emmett Till was an African-American boy who was murdered in Mississippi in 1955 at the age of 14. Till, who was from Chicago reportedly flirting with a 21-year old white store owner by the name of Carolyn Bryant. That was justification enough in the minds of Bryant's husband Roy Bryant and his half-brother J. W. Milam to murder Till.

 

The two took Till from his great-uncle's house to a barn where they brutally beat him, gouged out one of his eyes and shot him in the head before dumping his body in the Tallahatchie River,

 

Till's body was pulled from the river three days later. His mother, Mamie Till Mobley. made the controversial decision to have an open casket. Photos of her son's disfigured face were widely published.

Both Bryant and Milam were acquitted of the young boy's murder.

 

Today the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation is calling for a boycott of the "Karate Chop" remix.

 

How DARE you compare the atrocity of Emmett Till to the anatomy of a woman!!!! Rappers Future and Lil Wayne's release of the "Karate Chop"remix scheduled to appear on DJ Smallz's This Is That Southern Smoke Vol. 4 which drops during All Star Weekend, includes the egregious lyrics..."Beat that p-ssy up like Emmett Till".

 

The rappers metaphoric indiscretion is not only OFFENSIVE to the family of Emmett Till but our ancestors and to THEMSELVES as black men.  How can a comparison be made between the gateway ofLIFEto the BRUTALITY andPUNISHMENT of DEATH? Have they no pride and dignity as black men?  They are diminishing there own existence in a society controlled by a system that criminalizes black men at every opportunity.

The name Emmett Till has resonated over 57 years in effort to educate, in tributes to his life, to demonstrate the existence of modern hate crimes, and to continue the legacy of our rich cultural history. Numerous ballads and songs HONOR his memory and the brutal torcher he endured at the tender age of 14-years-old; during a time when black people weren't even considered humans beings.

 

It is disappointing, dishonorable, and outright disrespectul to Emmett Till's family and our community at large. The name Emmett Till represents the eruption of a great movement in our hearts as black people and in our country. Out of respect to the family please remove that portion of your lyrics. His mother Mamie Till Mobley is doing cartwheels in her tomb!!!!!!

 

Until the lyrics are removed we request everyone boycott "Karate Chop" remix! I also emplore the veterans of the rap and hip hop to mentor and sensor the newborns!

 

#BOYCOTTKARATECHOPREMIX

 

Lets unite in solidarity!

Rap-Up recently caught up with Young Money president/artist Mack Maine to get the inside scoop on some upcoming projects.

 

Mack said that Mystikal, Busta Rhymes, Bow Wow and Jay Sean are all working on projects. Drake's next album doesn't have a release date yet, but Mack said what he's heard so far is impressive.

 

Mack is hopeful that another Young Money compilation album can be put together and is looking forward to Lil Wayne releasing I Am Not a Human Being II on March 26.

 

When he does the I Am Not a Human Being, he actually taps into a different part of his brain where he just talks out of his mind and out of this world. Just expect him being Wayne, but more edgy, saying what he wants, a lot of fun, a lot of high energy," Mack explained.

 

Mack also talks about the decision to have Kanye West design the cover art for Wayne's album.

 

12349865499?profile=original

 

We don’t have a Kanye track on there, so we improvised and we got a cover from him,” he said. “He did 2 Chainz’ cover [Based on a T.R.U. Story], and we liked 2 Chainz’ cover… Kanye’s great, he’s brilliant.
