George Zimmerman Shot In The Face

---

The man responsible for stalking then killing 12-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012 finally ran out of his unbelievable luck on Monday, when he was shot in the face following an ongoing dispute.

George Zimmerman sustained minor injuries and was released from a local hospital, after being shot at by Matthew Apperson in Lake Mary, Florida. The 2 men have been feuding for several months and Apperson even called police last year to complain he felt threatened by Zimmerman. What is known is that Zimmerman flagged down a Lake Mary police officer shortly after 1pm Monday to say he was involved in a shooting.  Around the same time, a man by the name of Kenneth Cornell called 911 on behalf of Apperson to say he was the other person involved in the shooting. From there, conflicting versions of the incident have emerged from each of the two men involved.According to Zimmerman, a driver pulled up behind him on Monday and began flashing his lights, honking his horn and yelling obscenities at him.  Zimmerman recognized the aggressive man as Apperson, who he had a problem with several months ago, so he raised his window to avoid an altercation. That is when Apperson shot at him through Zimmerman’s side window, almost hitting him in the head. Zimmerman said he was hit by shattered glass from the window.

According to Apperson, he did shoot Zimmerman, but only in self defense after Zimmerman waved a gun at him.  He then drove to a nearby business where he encountered Cornell, who was exiting his car after lunch, and shouted: “I shot George Zimmerman, call 911. I don’t have a phone.”  So Cornell called 911.  In a statement to police, Cornell said Apperson told him that he and Zimmerman have had 3 disputes.

Naturally, Zimmerman denied Apperson’s claims via his attorney, Don West. “George absolutely denies pointing a gun, displaying a gun — no aggressive movement toward him at all,” West said. These claims are hard to fathom, since Zimmerman himself has made it publicly known that he and every member of his family sleeps with and carries a gun for protection.

Police have acknowledged at least 1 previous dispute between Zimmerman and Apperson from September 2014, when Apperson called 911 to say Zimmerman threatened to shoot him dead. Although Apperson said he did not see Zimmerman flash a gun, he was still threatened and worried enough to call police.

Police stopped Zimmerman 2 days later, after Apperson called 911 to say he saw Zimmerman near his office.  In the police report, Zimmerman claimed he was in the area for an appointment. He also admitted being involved in a verbal incident earlier in the week with Apperson, but denied threatening him.

Since being acquitted for the murder of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman has had numerous run-ins with the law, but has somehow managed to dodge every bullet and prevent himself from going back to jail or coming into personal harm. Following the murder, Zimmerman went into hiding after receiving hundreds of death threats.  Then, after the trial, Zimmerman felt invincible and went back to his regular way of life.  He signed autographs at a local gun show, was stopped multiple times by police for various traffic violations, was arrested after threatening his former father-in-law, was arrested for domestic battery and aggravated assault involving 2 different girlfriends and more.

George Zimmerman is incredibly lucky that the bullet only grazed him and shattered the glass in his car. Perhaps this shooting is a wake up call that next time his luck could completely run out.
