Florida: George Zimmerman Injured in Shooting 
----------------------------------------------


 
George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murder after fatally shooting the
unarmed African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012, has suffered
minor injuries after police say he was shot at while driving in Central
Florida. Zimmerman was struck by flying glass and debris, not by a
bullet. The man accused of shooting at him was involved in a previous
encounter with Zimmerman last year, when he said Zimmerman threatened to
kill him and asked him, "Do you know who I am?" Zimmerman has had
repeated run-ins with police since his acquittal, including two arrests
on allegations of domestic violence.
