Pistorius charged with murder

Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius was charged with murder hours after he allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend Thursday at his home in Silver Lakes, Pretoria. Police received a call at 3 a.m. that there was a break-in and someone had been shot after being mistaken for a burglar. The victim was confirmed to be 29-year-old South African model Reeva Steenkamp by her agency, Capacity Relations. "There was a shooting this morning at the home of well-known Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorious," local police captain Sarah Mcira said. "The man was arrested and charged with murder." Pistorius shot the woman in the head and the arm, and she died at the scene, according to local authorities. Pistorius gained fame last year when he became the first double amputee to compete in an Olympic running event. Born without fibulas in both legs, Pistorius runs using prosthetic blades that some competitors complained gave him an advantage. The 26-year-old reached the 400-meter semifinals in the London Olympics. He won gold medals in the Paralympics in 2004, 2008 and 2012. At last year's Paralympics, also in London, he captured the 400-meter title and was part of South Africa's 4x100-meter relay team.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office. Anyone with information is asked to call 425-257-8450. Rikki King: 425-

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
