{{A friend of Oscar Pistorius has told his murder trial that the athlete “had a big love” for guns.}}<\/p>\n
Darren Fresco said that he had been with him on two occasions when a gun had been fired in public.<\/p>\n
Mr Pistorius once accidentally fired a gun in a restaurant but made him take the blame, Mr Fresco said.<\/p>\n
The Paralympic athlete denies intentionally killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp and says he mistook her for a burglar.<\/p>\n
Mr Fresco said that on another occasion, he was driving when Mr Pistorius fired a gun out of a sunroof after police stopped him for speeding.<\/p>\n
He said Mr Pistorius became angry after a police officer handled his gun, which was on the back seat of the car.<\/p>\n
“You can’t just touch another man’s gun,” said Mr Pistorius, according to Mr Fresco.<\/p>\n
“Now your fingerprints are all over my gun. So if something happens, you’re going to be liable for anything that happens,” Mr Pistorius reportedly said.<\/p>\n
Mr Pistorius’ ex-girlfriend described the same incident in court in the first week of the trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
