George Zimmerman suffers minor injuries in shooting incident, attorney says

Bullet missed Zimmerman's head, attorney says

The shooting involving Zimmerman and a man identified as Matthew Apperson on Lake Mary Boulevard about 12:45 p.m., police said.

Zimmerman flagged down an officer shortly after the incident, police said.

“At this time, the investigation has proven that George Zimmerman was not the shooter,” Lake Mary Police Department spokeswoman Bianca Gillette said.

Zimmerman was hit in the face with glass and debris and has since been released from the hospital, according to police.

“He walked normally into the ambulance, so he wasn’t being helped or nothing,” said witness Ricardo Berrare. "They actually backed up the ambulance next to his driver side so he could walk into the door

If he kills again or gets killed I will not be surprised one bit.

Zimmerman seems to get in trouble every time he turns around. You have to wonder what sparked the confrontation, and what part Zimmerman played in any escalation. I mean, it's possible, theoretically possible, he was minding his own business and somebody just walked up and took a shot at him, but...

Don't you just hate it when this happens? Of course George is just your average law abiding citizen and he gets curb service.

Zimmerman has been in the news for all the WRONG reasons since being acquitted for killing Trayvon. I'm guessing it won't be much longer before Georgie is either dead or in prison.

It could happen to him, too. He gets involved in these things. Whoops, other people have the right to carry and stand their ground too.
