George Zimmerman shot in the face? Not exactly….

George Zimmerman was apparently in a road rage incident earlier today where a man fired a shot at George Zimmerman throw his windshield, just missing his head. Zimmerman was however in the face with the glass from the windshield, according to his lawyer:

WESH – George Zimmerman suffered minor injuries in a shooting incident in Lake Mary on Monday afternoon, according to Lake Mary police and Zimmerman’s attorney, Don West.

The shooting involving Zimmerman and another man happened on Lake Mary Boulevard about 12:45 p.m., police said.

Zimmerman’s attorney Don West said a bullet missed Zimmerman’s head, but he was sprayed with glass from his vehicle’s windshield and other debris.

West said Zimmerman has been released from the hospital.

“He walked normally into the ambulance, so he wasn’t being helped or nothing,” said witness Ricardo Berrare. “They actually backed up the ambulance next to his driver side so he could walk into the door.”

Chopper 2 video showed a bullet hole in the passenger window of the vehicle Zimmerman was in.

Kenneth Cornell told WESH 2’s Gail Paschall-Brown that he called 911 after the alleged shooter approached him and said, “I shot George Zimmerman.” Cornell said the alleged shooter then got on the phone with dispatch and explained what happened.

It is not known at this point if the other man was injured in the incident.

Sean Hannity reported this at the beginning of his show and rhetorically asked “Why can’t George Zimmerman stay out of trouble?”
