The slain girlfriend of Pistorius is pictured above holding a gun similar to the one used in her murder, in a photo that has emerged online.

According to the Inquisitr, Reeva Steenkamp was a gun aficionado, while News Australia mentions that she took the picture months before her death, after going to the range with her friends.

"Shooting games this morning! I feel less stressed now :)" she posted online after her time at the gun range.

While a member of her family has denied knowing about Steenkamp's ability to fire a pistol, access to weapons is commonplace in South Africa.

As I told you in an earlier article, Pistorius himself owned several guns, and has testified to using the one held under his pillow at all times to shoot who he thought was an intruder.
