Mr. Zimmerman and his wife are residents and own a home there. Young Mr. Martin was visiting his father at his girlfriend’s house, as he was suspended from school in Miami. It was NOT a 911 operator, it was the non-emergency police dispatcher, not a sworn law enforcement official, and he was not told to “stand down” but it was suggested “we don’t need you to do that” at which time he said “okay.” He says that Trayvon doubled back on him, sucker-punched him so that he fell to the ground and then proceeded to beat his head into the pavement. Before he could be killed by the larger, taller and more athletic Mr. Martin, he shot him. There is also some talk that there was a struggle over the pistol.

Are you sure about that? I was under the impression that they were renters.
I thought they were renters.
