A witness heard gunshots, screaming, and then more shots fired at the home of athlete Oscar Pistorius on the night Reeva Steenkamp was killed, a police officer has said.
Day two of his bail hearing in Pretoria also heard police suggest Mr Pistorius could be a flight risk.
He denies the premeditated murder of Ms Steenkamp, his girlfriend, saying he mistook her for an intruder.
A full trial of the Paralympic star, 26, is not expected for months.
However, allegations of what happened on Valentine’s Day last week have continued to emerge in the packed courtroom.
