George Zimmerman involved in shooting in Florida, police say Zimmerman appeared to suffer minor wound, officers say

LAKE MARY, Fla. —George Zimmerman suffered minor injuries in a shooting incident in Lake Mary on Monday afternoon, according to Lake Mary police.

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."

Chopper 2 video showed a bullet hole in the passenger window of the vehicle Zimmerman was in.

"The officer was talking to him through the back window because the other one had a hole in it. It was all shattered," Berrare said.

Lake Mary police said Zimmerman and Apperson have an ongoing dispute and were involved in an altercation in September, when Apperson accused Zimmerman of trying to kill him while on the road. Both men are waiting for legal counsel before speaking with police.

"At this time, we have not determined how or why the incident and altercation began," Gillette said.

Gillette wouldn't say whether Apperson claimed self-defense.

Police planned to release Apperson's 911 call Tuesday, but they do not plan to release body camera footage from responding officers at this time, Gillette said.

No other injuries were reported.

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.
