[Anderson Cooper, Cnn Anchor:] Good evening. Thanks for joining us. We begin tonight with breaking news. Another incident involving George Zimmerman, a gun in conflicting versions of events. Police in Lake Mary Florida say George Zimmerman suffered minor injuries today after he was shot at. Police say seems to be a road rage type incident. But the other man who was involved actually called police last year because he felt threatened by Zimmerman. It had been almost two years since Zimmerman was acquitted of murder after fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. In that time he's had a number of run-ins with the law, everything from speeding to accumulations of domestic violence. Investigation into today's incident is still in its early stages, but police say that the two men involved had been in an ongoing dispute. Martin Savidge joins me with more of what we know right now Martin.
[Martin Savidge, Cnn Correspondent:] Well, right now, what is being figured is the fat well, the basic fact that at 12:45, George Zimmerman flags down a police officer in Lake Mary, Florida. He says, hey, I was just shot at, and there's a bullet hole in the side window of his car that seems to verify that. He was not struck, but apparently he was injured as a result from a broken glass that struck him in the face. He was taken into a nearby hospital, treated and released. About the same time a third party 911 call comes in, a man who says he had a guy come up to him and says, hey, I just shot George Zimmerman call the police. And this man also says the shooter claimed to him that George Zimmerman had waived a gun, there by Matthew Apperson and he is now been identified by authorities, said that he had to shoot at George Zimmerman. The interesting thing is that so far this evening, nobody has been charged with anything. Police are continuing to investigate, Anderson.
[Cooper:] And Zimmerman, as we said, has had a number of run-ins with the law since his acquittal in 2013?
[Savidge:] Yes. He's had quite a few run-ins, which surprises people, because many would have thought that he might have a very low profile, he does not. Three weeks after he was acquitted in the Trayvon Martin case, he was pulled over for speeding. But then let's just go over some of them and the list is rather significant. September 2013, he has an alleged altercation with his estranged wife and father-in-law. He's detained, but not arrested. No charges there. Then, November 2013, two months later, he's picked up, aggravated assault and other charges, his then girlfriend asked for no charges, so he was not prosecuted. Then we've got September 2014, an alleged road rage incident. He wasn't arrested, we know now that was Matthew Apperson. Here so, we are seeing the history of these men. And that finally January of this year, he's arrested on another domestic violence complaint, this time, the girlfriend recants, so there were no charges filed there.
[Cooper:] And Zimmerman's attorney spoke out about the incident. What did he have to say?
[Savidge:] Well, he said this is what George Zimmerman told him happened today, is that George Zimmerman's minding his own business. He is driving down the road, Lake Mary Boulevard. There's a car behind that is flashing the lights, honking the horn, and a man shooting at sanity, pulls up next to George Zimmerman. George says he rolls up his passenger window, and the next thing he knows, a bullet comes flying through, narrowly missing his head. There's no mention, of course, to George Zimmerman threatening with the gun, which is what the other man claims happened today as well.
[Cooper:] Did police say anything about George Zimmerman being was he armed at this time?
[Savidge:] They did not talk about that. It is well known that in a number of instances, George Zimmerman has a weapon. He's licensed to carry one. Did he have a weapon in his vehicle? Police weren't commenting at this particular juncture. It will be interesting, there are body cameras on the authorities, so you'll get the first impression of George Zimmerman after he was fired at coming through that video when it's released.
[Cooper:] All right, Martin Savidge, appreciate that. Martin referenced the man who made the 911 call. His name is Kenneth Cornell. He worked close to where this incident happened. Kenneth joins me with more on what he saw. So Kenneth, walk us through what happened because I understand you were getting out of your car when someone came up to you shouting for you to call 911.
[Kenneth Cornell, Witnessed Aftermath Of Zimmerman's Incident:] Yes, Sir. We are getting out of our car. A guy came driving up, screaming out his window, someone please call 911, guys, hey, come here. Come here. Please call 911. So I was kind of walking over him a little bit. What's happening, what's going on. He's like, I just shot someone. Please call 911. I'm like what? He is like, no, really. Call 911. So I said to him, like don't you have a phone because this is little suspicious? He said no, I just shot George Zimmerman, please call 911, really. I'm like what, you shot George Zimmerman? He said yes, sir, I shot George Zimmerman. Just please call 911. So that's when I decided to call 911, picked up the phone and gave them a call and talked with them. And they went through some of the questions and that's when they heard him in the background. Well, let me speak with him. And he got on the phone, he's like, my name is Matt Apperson, I've been in a couple disputes with this guy, he was driving down the street, he waved a gun at me, and that's when I shot him.
[Cooper:] So he was saying that this had been some kind of an ongoing dispute with George Zimmerman?
[Cornell:] Yes, sir. This is the third incident he had.
[Cooper:] Do you know how they happen to be how they came to be driving down the same street at the same time?
[Cornell:] No. Not at all. He didn't say anything about that.
[Cooper:] Obviously, he was armed. Did he say that Zimmerman was armed?
[Cornell:] He said he saw a gun. I don't know if he said he waived it at him or pointed at him. But he said he saw a gun and he shot him.
[Cooper:] He said he saw George Zimmerman's gun?
[Cornell:] Yes. Yes, sir.
[Cooper:] And did he shoot him from his vehicle while he was driving?
[Cornell:] Yes. As they were driving down the street, he shot at him.
[Cooper:] At this point has anyone from the lake Mary police department, have they talked to you?
[Cornell:] The detective was supposed to come before 5:00 today, but they did not get there and they will probably show up tomorrow. But they said someone will be talking with me.
[Cooper:] Well, Kenneth, I appreciate you talking with us. Thank you.
[Cornell:] Thank you very much for the time.
[Cooper:] Joining me now, are CNN legal analyst and criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos and former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin. Mark, what do you make of this? I mean, road rage is one thing, but to have had several road rage incidences with this same person, that's just seems bizarre to me.
[Mark Geragos, Criminal Defense Attorney:] Yes, it is rather bizarre, if it's true, that it is the third time. We apparently know about twice. But I think it is also, the other thing in your interview that was kind of is the fact that the police were supposed to show up and talk to the at least one of the witnesses who was fresh on the scene and they didn't bother, which tells you how much the police want to get involved with anything where George Zimmerman is the complaining witness.
[Cooper:] Sunny, I mean, what do you make of this. He has had obviously a number of run-ins?
[Sunny Hostin, Cnn Legal Analyst:] Well, I think what's remarkable, is that we are now talking about five incidents, three domestic violence incidents, two road rage incidents that have been reported. And all of them involving allegations of George Zimmerman brandishing a gun. And that is an aggressive action. So someone and he seems to every time say that he's the victim, he's on the receiving end. I think it really calls into question certainly his credibility. His state of mind. What is going on with George Zimmerman? And I think what is also going to be quite ironic, Anderson is if this shooter is, let's say charged with aggravated assault or attempted murder, his defense will be that he was standing his ground against George Zimmerman because he feared for his life because George Zimmerman was brandishing a gun. It's ironic at the very, very best.
[Cooper:] Mark, I assume police would have searched the vehicle to see if George Zimmerman in fact did have a weapon on him?
[Geragos:] Well, my guess is, they either searched the vehicle or they didn't care all that much. At a certain point they've seen that every one of these post acquittal incidents ends up in nothing happening. So why are they going to pursue this and kind of drill a dry hole, doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm just not so sure that they really give a hoot about this case.
[Cooper:] It's interesting, though, Mark, I mean, a lot of people who have been in the news, who have been acquitted of crimes or of a trial, they choose to kind of lay low, Casey Anthony, certainly, for example.
[Geragos:] Casey Anthony.
[Cooper:] You have to wonder about George Zimmerman, either he's attracting issues or just by, you know, the very reality of who he is, people recognizing him, trouble seems to follow him.
[Geragos:] Well, he obviously was a polarizing figure. There's a lot of people who would like to take him out or provoke him, I suppose, so in his defense, he could always argue that. But it does seem, you know, that trouble does seem to follow him, whether he instigates it or he's the recipient of it.
[Hostin:] I think that's pretty charitable. That's pretty charitable. The discussion that
[Geragos:] I'm always been a charitable guy.
[Hostin:] Just the suggestion, Mark, that somehow trouble just follows George Zimmerman, I mean, let's face it, not one, not two, not three, but five already instances of George Zimmerman brandishing his gun at other people. Yet, he claims that he was not the aggressor with Trayvon Martin, that he's not an aggressive guy. And that he is a victim all the time. I think we need to call it what it is. If you believe what's being reported. Three of the incidents involve this guy. I don't know who has the fascination or fetish here, there's something going on between these two.
[Geragos:] Well, except that if you believe what is being reported. Three of these incidents involves this same guy. So I don't know who has got the fascination or the fetish here, but there is something going on between these two.
[Hostin:] It's more than three incidents, though. We are talking now six altogether.
[Cooper:] But he's just talking about with this one person. Sunny, we'll see. Mark Geragos, thank you. A quick reminder, set your DVR. You can watch 360 whenever you want.
