George Zimmerman Shot in FL - Daily Beast
George Zimmerman was shot in the face Monday by a bullet believed to have been fired by a man he knew—and had already fought with in his own pickup truck months ago, Lake Mary, Florida cops confirmed. Zimmerman, 31, was behind the wheel of his charcoal-colored Honda Ridgeline SUV on Lake Mary Boulevard when he and Matthew Apperson began squabbling with each other around 1 p. m. , police said. Apperson, 36, was the only person to fire a shot, cops say, but it’s unknown if Zimmerman drew a weapon or had one with him during the confrontation. Lake Mary Police Deputy Chief Colin Morgan told The Daily Beast that “it looks like [Zimmerman] is going to survive” the attack. While Zimmerman, according to a police spokeswoman, “flagged down a Lake Mary Police officer,” it was Apperson who called 9-1-1 to inform the cops he had been involved in the shooting incident, a police spokeswoman told reporters earlier today. Zimmerman had explained to the officer that “someone had shot at him and his vehicle,” the spokeswoman said. “He said ‘Please call 9-1-1, please call 9-1-1—I just shot George Zimmerman,’” Kenneth Cornell, who was at the scene, told an NBC affiliate. Apperson left the Lake Mary Police Department late Monday night. Source: www.thedailybeast.com
