Black Teen, Trayvon Martin's Killer, George Zimmerman Shot By A Motorist In Florida

(CNN) - George Zimmerman, acquitted by a Florida jury in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in 2013, suffered minor injuries on Monday after being shot at by a motorist, police said. Zimmerman and the man who shot at him had been in an ongoing dispute, police in Lake Mary, Florida, said, though both men involved in the incident were yet to be interviewed by police, pending the presence of their attorneys. No arrests have been made or charges filed in relation to the shooting, which is in the early stages of the investigation.

Lake Mary police spokeswoman, Bianca Gillett confirmed that the man who shot at Zimmerman, Matthew Apperson, is the same person who called police last year because he felt threatened by Zimmerman.

According to police, Zimmerman flagged down a Lake Mary police officer shortly after 1 p.m. Monday, saying he was involved in a shooting. At about the same time, someone called 911 for Apperson to say he was the other person involved in the shooting.

"Zimmerman was not the shooter in the incident. He was transported to the hospital for minor injuries and then released. The details of what led to the shooting will be determined by the ongoing investigation." Gillett said
