Legal:
Oscar Pistorius is in a South African court for a sentencing hearing after the double-amputee Olympian was convicted of murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The sentencing hearing began Monday and the process is expected to last several days before a judge announces the sentence. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years in jail, though a judge can reduce that sentence in some circumstances.
It will be the second time Pistorius has been sentenced for the killing, following a judge's earlier ruling that he was guilty of the lesser charge of negligent homicide. The appeals court rejected that verdict.
The three-year legal saga that began with Steenkamp's fatal shooting in the pre-dawn hours of Valentine's Day 2013 now appears to be near its end.
Reactions:
The sports world reacted strongly to the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
Baseball teams across the country held moments of silence after a gunman wielding an assault-type rifle and a handgun opened fire inside a crowded gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, early Sunday. Police say at least 50 people were killed.
"We begin with our thoughts and prayers for the Orlando community and all of those affected by the tragic events this early morning," Father Geoff Rose of St Francis de Sales High School said before NASCAR's race in Michigan.
A moment of silence was also held prior to Sunday's Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Penguins and Sharks.
Many prominent athletes took to social media to express themselves in the wake of the incident.
Shaquille O'Neal, who began his storied career with the Orlando Magic and is the most prominent star to ever play in the city, tweeted "My thoughts & prayers go out to my Orlando LGBT community brothers and sister during this senseless act of violence. Love is Love!"
