George Zimmerman has reportedly been shot in the face but not seriously injured during an apparent road rage incident in Florida.
The former neighbourhood watch volunteer, who came to international notoriety after being charged and acquitted of the murder of the black teenager Trayvon Martin, was lightly injured, according to WFTV.
Footage showed him walking from his truck into a waiting ambulance.
A photograph from a local Florida television station appeared to show a bullet hole in the passenger window of his grey truck.
