Initial reports indicated that Zimmerman had been shot, but attorney Don West told the Associated Press that broken glass and other debris had sprayed him. Zimmerman was treated and released from a hospital. West was unavailable when HuffPost called for more details.
A Lake Mary Police Department spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s questions.
Zimmerman infamously shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, in a gated community in 2012. A jury acquitted Zimmerman, but since then he’s been involved in a series of disputes involving allegations of domestic abuse and speeding.
Images posted to social media show bullet holes in a truck towed from the scene.
