Zimmerman purchased "cop-killer" gun after shooting Trayvon Martin [View all]

A gun-shop owner said Zimmerman came in weeks after the Feb. 26 shooting and said "his life was in danger and he needs more guns."

He got at least one more: The day of his arrest April 11, FDLE agents found in his rental car a "cop killer" handgun, a Belgian-made semiautomatic pistol, capable of firing bullets at such high velocity that they can pierce body armor. He also had three magazines of ammunition.


Wonder how many more people he might have eventually shot if he hadn't been arrested.
