Gun that killed Florida teen was fired once not twice by crime watch volunteer

Police found a single shell casing at the scene, and when they seized George Zimmerman’s handgun, a Kel Tel 9 mm, its magazine was full, according to a source close to the investigation. The only bullet missing was the one in the chamber, the source said.

There is the source of this info. No, the link there won't work because the Boston Herald and all other publications have scrubbed this story from the net. But it's not a "meme" made up by FReepers and that's very insulting and disgusting to even suggest that.

Here is another respected author who talks about it so he read the report too.

I brought up what Police report indicated the impaired gun. You proved me with speculation that has no public domain document. I'm aware of Ayoob and respect him greatly. He does not provide a source, what we are talking about was the FReeper said was in the police report.

Now if you want to keep repeating the 'meme' that there was a malfunction. Continue, but it wasn't in the police report. It could have happened and that was relayed to reporters, but it wasn't in the report!

See the problem? You keep repeating speculation, call it that, I speculate, but don't link the jam to any police report without a source.

If a round was loaded, then a full magazine was inserted, firing one round would result in in the casing being ejected, then a round loaded from the magazine into the chamber leaving one missing from the magazine. I think that’s likely to be the interpretation of the statement you cited. Note they’re talking “bullet” in the chamber, not casing.
