Another gun incident involving George Zimmerman.
Yes, the same George Zimmerman who shot and killed Trayvon Martin and who has been arrested on
multiple domestic violence charges, has been reportedly involved in a
shootout in Florida today:
The shooting involved two men and happened on Lake Mary Boulevard about 12:45 p.m., police said.
Officers at the scene said it appeared Zimmerman suffered a minor gunshot wound, Bracknell said.
“He walked normally into the ambulance, so he wasn’t being helped or nothing,” said witness Ricardo Berrare.
A bullet hole was visible in the passenger window of Zimmerman's truck. Police described the shootout as part of an "ongoing dispute" and are investigating two different crime scene areas. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.

12:08 PM PT: Lake Mary Police Chief says Zimmerman did not fire a gun:
Chief Steve Bracknell said Zimmerman did not shoot, but the other person involved shot at him.
More from the initial investigation:

He said the other man involved is someone Zimmerman knows and has had contact with in the past.
Bracknell said that man is cooperating with police.
