George Zimmerman’s wife has called police to her father’s house, saying the former neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted of murder threatened her with a gun.
Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell says Shellie Zimmerman called police shortly after 2 p.m. Monday from her father’s house on Spurcewood Road.

In the call, Shellie Zimmerman told dispatchers that George Zimmerman was sitting in his car with his hand on his gun.
“He’s just threatening all of us with his firearm,” she said. “He punched my dad in the nose. My dad has a mark on his face.”
Shellie Zimmerman said her estranged husband then took her iPad and smashed it.
“There’s a Lake Mary’s city worker across the street who I think saw all of it,” she added.
Bracknell says Zimmerman hasn’t been arrested and officers are at the house trying to determine what happened.
Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce last week. In the divorce petition, Shellie Zimmerman says she and her husband separated a month after Zimmerman was acquitted of any crime for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.
Since being acquitted, George Zimmerman has been pulled over twice for speeding. His acquittal led to protests nationwide.
