Matthew Apperson, 36, has been charged with attempted murder for shooting at George Zimmerman in a road rage incident last month, CBS Miami reports.
In September 2014, Zimmerman and Apperson reportedly engaged in an initial incident in which Apperson made a U-turn and Zimmerman threatened to kill him, asking, "Do you know who I am?" Apperson did not pursue charges, although two days later he called the police to report that Zimmerman was parked near his work. Zimmerman claimed he had an appointment nearby and again, no charges were filed.
