South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee issues a statement following Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius's arrest over the fatal shooting of his girlfriend.
"SASCOC, like the rest of the public, knows no more than what is in the public domain, which is that there has been an alleged fatal shooting on the basis of a mistaken identity and an apparent assumption of a burglary," the statement reads.
"The organisation is in no position to comment on the incident other than to say our deepest sympathy and condolences have been expressed to the families of all concerned.
"There is a police investigation, as is customary with any shooting incident, and it would be irresponsible and inappropriate to comment on the alleged incident until the official investigative process has been completed.
"Our thoughts are with the respective families at this time."
