LAKE MARY, Fla. —George Zimmerman was involved in a shooting incident in Lake Mary on Monday afternoon, according to Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell.

The shooting involved two men and happened on Lake Mary Boulevard, police said.

Officers at the scene said it appeared Zimmerman suffered a minor gunshot wound, Bracknell said.

In January, Zimmerman was accused of assault by his girlfriend, but no charges were filed after she recanted her allegation.

He was also arrested in November 2013 on domestic violence allegations after his girlfriend called police. His girlfriend later recanted her story and charges were never filed.

Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in 2013.

Live video of the scene on the site now.

Fucking hell.

 

[Angry Grimace]

George Zimmerman is still allowed to carry firearms?

Edit: Oh, I see he was the one that got shot.

 

[JDSN]

We gotta wait for all the facts, maybe theres pictures of the other guy in facebook throwing gang signs.

 

[Savitar]

Did anyone expect any less eventually?

 

[minor effort]

This is no longer surprising.

 

[mackattk]

.

EDIT: Errr.. did he do any shooting? Or just received a minor gunshot wound? It is absolutely amazing how this guy attracts attention to violence.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I'm gonna wait until the facts come out, but lets just say that I've never been in a situation in which anyone was threatened with being shot, and this is what, the fifth for the Zimm?

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck lol

How much fuckery can one man bring forth?

.

Incredible.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Looks like it's Zimmertime again, huh?

 

[Veritigo_X]

How does this guy keep getting in situations where he needs to use a firearm? This doesn't happen to normal people.

Have you been part of a giant media circus in which people called for your blood?

 

[GreatestHits]

Wtf.. Recanted recanted recanted recanted recanted recanted recanted recanted acquitted....

Perhaps he was defending himself from someone who was pissed at what he did. That would be nice

 

[dLMN8R]

What a thug.

 

[double jump]

THUG

 

[wildfire]

My sentiments exactly. I'll be following this thread.

 

[statham]

not surprising, but we need the details.

 

[BronsonLee]

Did...did someone try to shoot him? That's how that reads to me. Either that or he shot himself somehow

 

[Krixeus]

Came to post this gif

 

[BitStyle]

It was only a matter of time I suppose...

 

[bob_arctor]

Only a minor gunshot wound? Bah.

 

[Valhelm]

Christ! Honestly, I hope the people involved are white. That might be enough to convince the juries to throw the book at him.

 

[ElTorro]

The shooter was probably just a weak pussy who couldn't defend himself from thug like Zimmerman without a weapon. That's what the shooter's attorney should go for.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Comments are already revving up, I see.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Someone else is going to end up dead because of the pardon this killer got.

 

[ezekial45]

This guy is a time bomb. He should've been locked up a long time ago.

EDIT: And he was the one that got shot. Wow.

 

[Solid Samus]

Uh, guys?

Guys?

Zimmerman is the one who got shot.

I ain't telling you to sympathize but it's super easy to tell who in here just read the headline and head-libbed the rest of the article...

Someone else is going to end up dead because of the pardon this killer got.

And it will probably be Zimmerman.

 

[Pepiope]

How does this guy keep getting in situations where he needs to use a firearm? This doesn't happen to normal people.

In his defense, his face has been plastered all over TV. He's no longer just some guy.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Have you been part of a giant media circus in which people called for your blood?

I'm not sure how that affects all those domestic violence arrests.

 

[Valhelm]

How does this guy keep getting in situations where he needs to use a firearm? This doesn't happen to normal people.

George Zimmerman isn't a normal person, though. He's a violent, ignorant, and abusive thug, and if not for his Peruvian heritage he'd clearly fit the definition of white trash.

 

[Cyan]

So he got shot? I mean, that's too bad, but it was probably someone terrified for his life, shooting in self-defense. George Zimmerman is no angel.

 

[NullPointer]

Edit: Oh, I see he was the one that got shot.

Well he's no angel.

Edit: *Shakes fist at Cyan*

 

[DrFunk]

apparently he was shot in the face..?

[LyleLanley]

I need to know what he was wearing before I can render an opinion on this.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/george-zimmerman-shot-lake-mary/nmDZj/

.. oh.

 

[statham]

Police say it appears to be a "road rage incident".

[PhoenixDark]

What a shame.

 

[bengraven]

Zimmerman suffered a minor gunshot wound,

...huh.

 

[statham]

but news footage from the scene shows a bullet hole in the front passenger side window of Zimmerman's truck.

[No Love]

Looks like Zimmerman is getting a taste of his own medicine.

Edit: Lake Mary Police Chief says this is an "ongoing dispute" between Zimmerman and the other guy.

 

[bob_arctor]

...huh.

Yup. Monday could have been redeemed but nope, just another shitty Monday.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

So he got shot? I mean, that's too bad, but it was probably someone terrified for his life, shooting in self-defense. George Zimmerman is no angel.

Well he's no angel.

Edit: *Shakes fist at Cyan*

Had it coming..is what some will say..

 

[Valhelm]

apparently he was shot in the face..?

http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/george-zimmerman-shot-lake-mary/nmDZj/

How could that be minor?

 

[Veritigo_X]

http://www.myfoxorlando.com/story/29032651/police-george-zimmerman-involved-in-shooting-in-lake-mary

Hm... not the first "road rage" incident he's had.

[Slime Scholar]

It's funny how you can tell who only read the title of the thread and not the actual article.

Zimmerman's a piece of shit and I don't want to give him the benefit of the doubt but we literally don't know anything besides that he was shot. I'm not really sure how he could've been shot in the face, and that's considered minor, so maybe that part's wrong?

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

How could that be minor?

Could have just grazed his face I suppose. If the bullet actually went into his face I doubt they'd be calling it minor.

 

[bengraven]

"THAT'S MY NAME. YAY. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ME!"

Yup. Monday could have been redeemed but nope, just another shitty Monday.

Yeah, when I hear "minor" and "face" I'm like "huh".

 

[Akuun]

How could that be minor?

I was wondering the same thing. I guess a bullet grazed his face or something?

 

[BobTheFork]

He finally became scared of himself and shot himself in self defense.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

This motherfucker ain't in jail yet? Damn
