 3:00pm – The shooter today is Matthew Apperson.
Matt Apperson is the same guy who tried to gain fame in September of 2014 by claiming that George Zimmerman waved a gun at him during a road rage incident. ( Full backstory of their prior two encounters outlined HERE)
[ Same thing Apperson is saying this time, though this time Apperson shot Zimmerman's car twice while Zimmerman was driving. Apperson claims self-defense. Zimmerman who was driving at the time, was hit by glass from the round that went through his passenger window. Two shots were fired into Zimmerman's car, one through the passenger side window and one into the passenger side door. Zimmerman no longer lives in FL, but was back visiting relatives when this guy, who knows Zimmerman shot his car. ]
EXERPT FROM SEPTEMBER 2014 – Apperson told a 911 dispatcher Tuesday morning that he was driving his Honda Accord on Lake Mary Boulevard, made a U-turn and headed west-bound when a Honda Ridgeline truck pulled alongside and someone inside rolled down his window.
“George Zimmerman was the driver, and they were threatening to kick my ___ and to shoot me,” Apperson told the dispatcher.
Apperson said he pulled into a Circle K to find a phone so he could call for help when the Ridgeline made a maneuver to block him and “almost hit my car.”
Zimmerman “said he was going to shoot me dead,” Apperson told the dispatcher (more)
It would appear that Matthew Apperson is a psycho-stalker trying to gain fame by circling around George Zimmerman, and provoking contact.
• Zimmerman’s attorney, Don West, said a bullet missed Zimmerman’s head, but his client was sprayed with glass from his vehicle’s windshield and other debris (link) • West said Zimmerman was not seriously injured and was treated and released from a hospital. • Witnesses told Local 6 that the driver of an Infiniti opened fire on Zimmerman, who turned into a retail center on Waymont Court to get help. ( link) • Shooter’s name: “Matthew (Matt) Apperson”. George was visiting friends/family in Florida.

Channel 9 looked into Apperson’s history with law enforcement and learned he’s been arrested at least six times in Seminole County, twice for drug possession in 1995 and 1998, twice for DUI in 2000 and once for trespassing.

According to Don West, George was trying to make a U turn to get away from the guy.

Attorney: Man shot at George Zimmerman in self-defenseLAKE MARY, Fla. —
The attorney for a Seminole County man accused of shooting at George Zimmerman during a road rage incident on Monday said he opened fire in self-defense.
Police said the shooting stemmed from an incident on Lake Mary Boulevard and involved Matthew Apperson, of Winter Springs, a man involved in another confrontation with Zimmerman in September.
"He simply maintained that he acted in self-defense," attorney Mark NeJame said. "We see everything to suggest that that is correct."
A bullet struck Zimmerman's driver's-side [ Wrong - Zimmerman's vehicle was hit from the other side. ] window and he was hit by glass and other debris, said his attorney, Don West.
"His injuries would be considered minor," West said. "The bullet missed his head. I think it broke a window and lodged in his vehicle."
Authorities said Zimmerman did not return fire. He flagged down a local officer about the same time Apperson called 911, authorities said in a news conference on Monday.
"George absolutely denies having shown it, waved, displayed, pointed it," West said of Zimmerman's gun.
