I doubt if the prescription drugs that Zimmerman had anything to do with the killing that night.
I am curious about which city you were in that had an area called The War Zone. I saw you lived in DC, MD, and VA. I lived in Silver Spring for 35 years. I never went into the Anacostia area of DC, lots of Prince George County, or into parts of the Virginia 'burbs but never heard any of those called The War Zone.

Twin Lakes had MUCH more than a few burglaries going on over the past year prior to the shooting. Zimmerman had called the police before and waited for them while suspected individuals got away. Wikipedia has the story. The crime statistics are available and search engines find them.
The War Zone I mentioned is in the SE part of Albuquerque, NM and I am physically there right now as I write, no not in the War Zone, but in that city.

I know Anacostia and have been out SE Pennsylvania to it several times. I have lived on Capitol Hill, in Bladensburg and Lanham in PG County, Chevy Chase, MD, Alexandria and Great Falls, VA, downtown Baltimore and Towson. A plain clothes DC cop was shot to death on the doorstep of a friend's Capitol Hill house one night after I drove him home. After that incident he and his wife moved to the suburbs.
