What came first the shot, or the screams.. denbot Mar 2012 #5

I'm unclear on that itsrobert Mar 2012 #8

The first shot can be heard at 00:41 into the call, a second one at 00:50 . . . Petrushka Mar 2012 #21

There is a loud gun shot at 00:41 but I don't think the pop sound at 00:50 is a gun shot. LisaL Mar 2012 #36

The screams come first for a minute or two before the shot is heard rustydog Mar 2012 #80

The screams were heard first. Then the shots. vaberella Mar 2012 #83

But the shooter was not a cop. And I'm guessing he could never be one even if he wanted to Number23 Mar 2012 #91

The shooter was not a cop but a highly corrupt, racist local police force is covering for him. yardwork Mar 2012 #93

Also, isn't there recording analysis that can show whether the screams or cries were consistent with Mayberry Machiavelli Mar 2012 #94

Probably- and that's my instinctive response as well BUT cali Mar 2012 #52

Due process would begin with arresting the person who shot and killed an unarmed child. yardwork Mar 2012 #61

Considering that Zimmerman had a long history of complaining about "suspicious young black men"... Hugabear Mar 2012 #102

There were two gunshots Cali_Democrat Mar 2012 #6

I'm not sure there were two shots csziggy Mar 2012 #22
