Olympic 'Blade Runner' Oscar Pistorius who shot girlfriend struggles to find job after prison time: report

Fox News' Greg Palkot reports the latest on the double-amputee runner's parole.

The double-amputee former South African track star Oscar Pistorius is struggling to find post-prison employment as members of his church see him as a "shadow" of the man he once was, according to a new report.
