I think your scenario is the best fit for the facts up to the point of the use of the gun. I think there was a point where Martin finally saw the gun and at that point both were in fear of getting shot. Martin could have went for the gun to protect his own life but at that point Zimmerman has to assume that Martin's intention is to kill him and thus is in fear of his own life and is justified using it for self defense.
Tragic but not all tragedies are criminal.
That's the part that folks who are arguing this emotionally don't want to accept.

Until and unless some proof comes forth to negate this, it is in all likelihood what happened.
