    George Zimmerman shot, injured in Lake Mary road rage incident

    George Zimmerman shot, injured in Lake Mary road rage incident

    LAKE MARY -- George Zimmerman was shot and suffered minor injuries in what Lake Mary police called a possible road rage incident Monday afternoon.

    The shooting happened sometime around the 1 p.m. hour on Lake Mary Boulevard and Rinehart Road, police said.


    Zimmerman was taken away in an ambulance, according to police. Bullet holes were seen in his vehicle as it was towed away from the scene.


    It was not immediately clear if the shooter has been caught.


    The scene remains active on Lake Mary Boulevard as police investigate what led to the shooting.


    Zimmerman was last seen in March in a video interview published by his lawyers, in which he said a person in his circumstances could not feel guilty over surviving a confrontation like the one he had with Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old unarmed teen he fatally shot three years ago in Sanford.

    The Justice Department decided in February not to prosecute Zimmerman for a hate crime, concluding there was not enough evidence to establish that Zimmerman willfully deprived Martin of his civil rights.

    Zimmerman's last run-in with the law was in January, when a woman told Lake Mary police he threw a wine bottle at her during an argument. The woman later recanted her claim, and the charges against Zimmerman were dropped.

    Latest Zimmerman Dust-up Linked to Prior Road Rage Incident

    LAKE MARY, Fla. — May 11, 2015, 4:30 PM ET
    By KYLE HIGHTOWER and MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press

    The man who called 911 to report he was involved in a shooting with George Zimmerman appears to be the same person involved in a road rage incident with the former neighborhood watch volunteer last year.

    Lake Mary Police Officer Bianca Gillett said during a news conference Monday that Matthew Apperson called 911 to report the shooting. She said Zimmerman was not the shooter.


    Last September, Apperson said Zimmerman threatened to kill him, asking "Do you know who I am?" during a confrontation in their vehicles. Apperson decided not to pursue charges, and police officers were unable to move forward without a car tag identified or witnesses.


    A bullet missed Zimmerman's head, but he wasn't seriously hurt, his attorney said.


    In the latest of a string of incidents since he was acquitted in the killing of Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman was sprayed with glass from his vehicle's windshield and other debris in the Orlando suburb of Lake Mary, said the attorney, Don West.


    "His injuries would be considered minor," West said. "The bullet missed his head. I think it broke a window and lodged in his vehicle."


    Zimmerman was released from a hospital.


    West said before the news conference that Zimmerman thought he knew who was responsible for the shooting and is cooperating with authorities.


    Zimmerman was acquitted in the 2013 killing of Martin, an unarmed black teenager, in a case that sparked protests and national debate about race relations. The Justice Department later announced it was not bringing a civil rights case against Zimmerman.


    Since then, Zimmerman has had several brushes with the law, including:

    — He was charged with aggravated assault after being accused of throwing a wine bottle at an ex-girlfriend, Brittany Brunelle. The case was dropped in January after she recanted her story and refused to cooperate.
    — Following another domestic confrontation, he was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his then-girlfriend said he pointed a gun at her face during an argument, smashed her coffee table and pushed her out of the house they shared. Samantha Scheibe decided not to cooperate with detectives, and prosecutors didn't pursue the case.
    — Zimmerman was accused by his estranged wife of smashing an iPad during an argument at the home they had shared. Shellie Zimmerman initially told a dispatcher her husband had a gun, though she later said he was unarmed. No charges were filed because of a lack of evidence. The dispute occurred days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers.

    Man who shot at George Zimmerman's truck in central Florida charged with assault, battery

    Published May 15, 2015 Associated Press

    LAKE MARY, Fla. – Police in central Florida say they've arrested a man who shot at George Zimmerman during a confrontation earlier this week.

    Lake Mary police said in a news release Friday that Matthew Apperson has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and firing a missile into an occupied conveyance. Apperson turned himself in Friday evening.


    Zimmerman's attorney has said the former neighborhood watch volunteer had recently moved to another state but came back to the Orlando suburb for Mother's Day. He was driving to a doctor's appointment Monday when detectives say Apperson intentionally fired his gun into Zimmerman's truck without provocation.


    Apperson's attorney has said his client fired in self-defense.

    Zimmerman suffered minor injuries from flying glass and debris.

    Police say they have recovered two guns from Apperson and one from Zimmerman.


    Zimmerman was acquitted of second degree murder in the 2012 death of Treyvon Martin.

    Zimmerman Shooter Arrested, Possible Life Sentence

    Posted by Andrew Branca Friday, May 15, 2015 at 8:10pm


    “…Mr. Apperson did intentionally fire his weapon…without provocation”




    It’s a good thing I’m not the kind of guy to say “I told you so.”


    Matthew Apperson, the man who claims he fired a .357 Magnum bullet at George Zimmerman’s head in purported self-defense, has been arrested by the Lake Mary Police Department (LMPD) following their investigation of the case.

    This is according to a press release from the LMPD, embedded below. (Hat tip to commenter “Amy in FL,” and tweeter “@AmyA1A.”)

    Zimmerman, you will recall, barely missed being hit by the bullet, and suffered minor injuries from shattered glass when the bullet passed through his car window.


    According to that LMPD press release:

    After conducting numerous interviews throughout the week, detectives determined that Mr. Apperson did intentionally fire his weapon into the vehicle occupied by George Zimmerman without provocation.

    Consequently:
    Mr. Apperson was charged with one count of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly WEaon, one count of Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon, and one count of Firing a Deadly Missile into an Occupied Conveyance.

    Under Florida’s “10-20-Life” statute, each of those counts carries not only its own sentence, but an additional consecutive sentence of 20 years—so even absent the underlying sentences, Apperson could be facing 60 years prison time on the “10-20-Life” aspects alone. Given his age, this would essentially amount to a life sentence.


    So, once again, some loon attempts to accuse Zimmerman of an act of unwarranted violence, and once again the accusation fall so far short of credibility that the alleged offense is not even pursued by the authorities.


    This time—perhaps because Apperson is a male? Or maybe just because he tried to put a bullet into Zimmerman’s noggin’?—the accuser faces existential levels of imprisonment.


    More details to follow as we come across them.
