George Zimmerman’s Wife Says He Threatened Her With a Gun
A week after filing for divorce, Shellie Zimmerman called 911 Monday and said her husband, the acquitted shooter of Trayvon Martin, had threatened her and her father with a gun, The Associated Press reports.
AP via Washington Post:
LAKE MARY, Fla. — George Zimmerman’s wife says on a 911 call that her estranged husband punched her father in the nose, grabbed an iPad out of her hand and smashed it and threatened them both with a gun.
Shellie Zimmerman said Monday on the 911 call that she was scared because she didn’t know what George Zimmerman is capable of doing.
If what’s being reported is true, it raises the question: At what point does a person surrender the right to bear arms?
