After Allegedly Shooting at George Zimmerman

[brassmonkey]

Matthew Apperson looked "visibly shaken" in the aftermath of Monday's shooting involving George Zimmerman, according to a man who called 911 after the incident.

Bystander Ken Cornell said a man -- who identified himself to police as Apperson -- came up to him, screaming, "Please call 911. ... I just shot George Zimmerman."

While Cornell did not see the incident or see Zimmerman, he described Apperson as a "shaken guy in his car."

George Zimmerman Involved in Florida Shooting, Did Not Fire Gun, Police Say


Apperson told Cornell he didn't have a phone, so Cornell called 911.

According to Cornell, Apperson said: "I saw a gun and so I shot George Zimmerman."

Apperson described the incident as an "ongoing dispute," Cornell added.

Cornell said Appersons' "eyes seemed very shaken, his head was shaken. You could tell there was a problem going on."

Apperson could not be immediately reached for comment.

On Monday, Zimmerman flagged down an officer, saying someone shot at him and his car, said Bianca Gillet, a spokeswoman for the Lake Mary Police Department.

Zimmerman, 31, did not fire his weapon during the road rage incident, police said.

Zimmerman's attorney, Don West, said Zimmerman was driving into a retail center when a car came up behind him, flashing its lights and honking. Zimmerman claimed the other driver yelled at him, West said.

When Zimmerman tried to leave, West said, the other driver pulled up and fired a shot through the passenger side window of Zimmerman's truck. The bullet lodged somewhere in the car, West said. According to West, the other driver fled.

Zimmerman had a gun in the car but did not brandish it, according to West. Zimmerman was carrying the gun legally, the attorney said.

Zimmerman was briefly hospitalized and released a short time later.

The investigation into Monday's shooting is ongoing, police said, and officers did not know if any charges will be filed against Apperson. No arrests have been made in this latest incident.

Police confirmed that Zimmerman and Apperson had also been involved in a road rage incident in September 2014. In September 2014, the Associated Press reported that Apperson was stopped at a light in Lake Mary when a passenger in the car next to him started yelling, unprovoked.

The truck's driver, who Apperson believed to be Zimmerman, then reportedly said to Apperson, "Do you know who I am?"

Apperson pulled over, he said, and the truck followed him, blocking him in. Apperson claimed both men threatened to shoot and kill him, the AP reported. Apperson said he called police, but the truck was gone when officers arrived.

Two days later, Apperson said he saw Zimmerman outside his office and was worried Zimmerman was waiting for him, the AP reported.

Apperson declined to press charges at the time.

More fun in Florida. Colorado has pot, we have guns and goobers.

A year ago this guy reported that Zimmerman pulled a gun on him.

This happened near Zimmerman's ex's job.

Guy told police Zimmerman taunted him with a gun from his truck yesterday and that he was standing his ground.

Last I read, nobody has been arrested. Sounds like Zimmerman has been stalking and threatening this guy for awhile. He finally did something about it.

Actually, if looking at all things equal, I'd say this guy is likely stalking Zimmerman. They supposedly have had 3 encounters and all of them could of easily been this guy stalking Zimmer trying to be famous for shooting him.

Think about it, knowing Zimmer had killed a guy, if it was Zimmer doing the stalking any sensible person would of had a restraining order put on him so they could have him arrested. Yet no restraining order and this guy was bragging about "shooting George Zimmer..

It just doesn't add up that Zimmer was doing the stalking in this case.. I don't like the guy and think he got away with murder, but I still don't see this as him doing the stalking. It just doesn't seem right with what has happened.

I mean really the 1st road rage thing was his word vs Zimmers so everyone just assumed Zimmer was doing it. Same with the accusation that he was at his work place. Again no proof, no pressing charges, no restraining order.. Yet this guy recognized Zimmer right off the bat?

How do you fire a gun at someones head and not get arrested for anything? I can see if someone was coming at you or even in the car and you were afraid of being run over but they made it sound on the news like he went up to Zimmys truck and fired the gun trying to shoot him in the head.
Guess it would help to hear the facts or all 3 sides of the story

Did he get arrested? I thought it was just a reporting of it. If he was arrested then I guess it would make it more of a Zimmer stalking him. I was thinking it was a his word vs the other guy type things with no charges or arrests..

What ever it is it seems there is more going on than what is being said. These guys seem to have some sort of bad blood or history with each other, besides just a road rage incident.

It's called an "investigation". They don't know what happened and until they do, they cannot make an arrest. They know shots were fired, but not if any laws were broken.

In fact, Zimmerman himself was not arrested the night of the shooting. He was sent home, and they interviewed him the following morning.
