The shooting involved Zimmerman and another man and happened on Lake Mary Boulevard about 12:45 p.m., police said. According to Bracknell, officers at the scene reported Zimmerman suffered a minor gunshot wound.

An employee at a nearby business, Kenneth Cornell, said he was exiting his car after lunch when a man drove up and started yelling about the shooting. The man shouted to Cornell: “I shot George Zimmerman, call 911. I don’t have a phone.”  Cornell said the man didn’t know whether Zimmerman was hurt. He called 911.

According to Cornell, the man told him that he and Zimmerman have had three disputes. This time, Zimmerman waved a gun and the man shot at him, according to Cornell.  Police arrived minutes after he called 911, Cornell said.

“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.Bracknell said the shooting may have been related to an “ongoing dispute” involving Zimmerman and another person. 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.
