ABC News - George Zimmerman Questioned About Wife's Gun Allegation (ABC News)
George Zimmerman is being questioned by police after a domestic incident
with his wife and father-in-law that may have involved a gun, according to
police.
Zimmerman is being held at the home of a relative after the incident, which
involved his wife, Shellie, and her father, Colin Morgan, police in Lake
Mary, Fla., told ABC News. Police are investigating whether a gun found at
the scene was used in the incident.
"There was some kind of a domestic, we know that with his wife and father-in
-law. Apparently there were some weapons involved and threats," the deputy
police chief in Lake Mary told ABC News.
Zimmerman has not been charged with any crime.
Shellie Zimmerman recently announced plans to divorce her husband, who was
acquitted in July on murder charges related to the 2012 death of Florida
teenager Trayvon Martin.
Her attorney told ABC News that Zimmerman pulled a knife on her today after
she discovered a firearm in the house they shared. He then pulled a gun on
his wife and her father after a verbal altercation, according to attorney
Kelly Sims.
George Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, did not immediately respond to
request for comment.
Zimmerman was acquitted in July in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
After announcing plans to divorce him earlier this month, Shellie told ABC
News in an exclusive interview on Friday that George was at times verbally
abusive and hurt her "emotionally, but never physical" during their marriage
. She also said she believes the not guilty verdict has left her husband
feeling "invincible" and since then has been "making some reckless decisions
."
"I think I'm realizing that I have been married to a person for almost seven
years, and I don't think that I ever really knew him at all," she said.
Shellie said that she had stood by her husband throughout the ordeal that
began on Feb. 26, 2012, when he shot and killed the unarmed teenager and
came to an end when a Florida jury acquitted him of murder this summer.
But less than two months later, she filed for divorce.
"I stood by my husband through everything and I kind of feel like he left me
with a bunch of broken glass that I'm supposed to now assemble and make a
life. ... It's just heartbreaking," Shellie said.
"I have a selfish husband. And I think George is all about George," she said
.
George Zimmerman's legal team declined to comment on the divorce proceedings
