Um….. what?!?! Martin was visiting relatives at the time of the shooting.Zimmerman became suspicious of Martin and called police; Zimmerman attacked Martin and then shot him with a pistol he was licensed to carry.
In a widely reported trial, Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder for Martin's death, but acquitted by the jury after claiming self-defense, although Martin had no weapon.
I guess a 17 year old with skittles would seem very dangerous to an unstable person carrying a gun.
