(62,325 posts)call from Zimmerman, until the shooting, for the police to get there. According to the Police Reports and other documents, police were dispatched at 7.17 PM, while Zimmerman was still on the phone with the Dispatcher.
Trayvon was pronounced dead at 7.30 PM according to the report. The shooting took place a few minutes before that, maybe 3 or 4 minutes. I am not sure of the exact time.
The police got there several minutes before pronouncing him dead. One Police Officer stated that he was already on his way there when he received the call that a shooting had occurred. According to witnesses police were at the scene right after the shooting took place.
What I am saying is that had Zimmerman just waited, the police would have been there within about, it looks like about 10 minutes or so. He should have gone back to his car. I bet he wishes now that he had done that.
I am doing this from memory of the documents posted at the link above. When I have time I will read them again as they do record the timing from the first call to the pronouncement of death. Such an unnecessary tragedy. All for the sake of a few minutes.
