Gun-loving “Blade Runner” Oscar Pistorius nearly shot a friend two weeks before allegedly blowing away his gorgeous gal pal, according to published reports today.
Pistorius, in jail since the Valentine Day’s slaying of stunner Reeva Steenkamp, accidentally shot one round at the foot of boxer Kevin Lerena, while they dined with friends at a swanky Johannesburg restaurant, the fighter told Beeld newspaper.

Lerena said Pistorius mishandled the weapon and it fired one round that nearly hit his foot.
“I got a huge fright, because the bullet hit the ground just centimeters from my foot. I must emphasize that the gun belonged to one of Pistorius’ friends,” Lerena told the newspaper.
“Oscar just wanted to look at the gun, and it sort of snagged on his pants, releasing the safety catch. A shot went off. I wouldn’t call him negligent, it was just an accident. He apologized to me for days afterwards.”
Steenkamp’s funeral is set for tomorrow, as a court weighs Pistorius’ bail application.
She was shot four times early Thursday morning inside the Olympian’s home near Pretoria.
The beautiful FHM mag pinup Steenkamp was a law school grad and outspoken advocate for victims of domestic violence.
Pistorius became an international hero this summer and after running in the London Olympics on two prosthetic legs.
