Oscar Pistorius trial: Athlete guilty of firearms charge

The judge in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial has found the athlete guilty on a firearms charge, but is still to rule on whether the athlete is guilty of the culpable homicide of his girlfriend.
Judge Thokozile Masipa said the athlete was guilty of negligently handling a firearm in a restaurant, but acquitted him of firing a gun from his car.
The judge on Thursday cleared him of murdering Reeva Steenkamp last year.
She said the state had failed to prove he intended to kill the model.
Mr Pistorius admits firing through a toilet door at his home but says he mistook Ms Steenkamp for an intruder.
He could still be convicted of culpable homicide over her death.
