On Friday, the Daily News obtained EMS documents suggesting Zimmerman, who an ex-colleague said was fired from a security job for being too aggressive, did not sustain serious injuries in the fatal encounter.
Paperwork detailing the EMS response to the shooting scene shows that a call for a second ambulance was canceled.
An audiotape containing the EMS communications, also obtained by The News on Friday, records unidentified workers discussing the scene.
Zimmerman’s condition is mentioned briefly in the 30-minute recording.
“Do we have a second patient?” a man asks.
“That’s affirmative. We have a second patient,” a woman replies. “The second patient is not a gunshot.”

fatal? What buffoons. Maybe, if Zimmerman had only waited a few more minutes of having his head slammed into the ground.
Well if Zimmermans injuries were fatal, then he would be dead, would he not?
Perhaps his injuries were fatal, if eventually the radical racist have their way. There are Wanted Dead or Alive posters out there.
. . . a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if:
(1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself . . ..
Yep. Florida law permitted Zimmerman to use the force "to prevent" great bodily harm to himself. Before the "unh uh"s starts: (A) no, Chapter 776 doesn't define "great bodily harm,' but the appropriate legal method for Martin supporters to use before arguing that Zimmerman wasn't subjected to the possibility of it, is first to research Florida law to see if the term has been defined at law by Florida courts; and (B) yes, I know about Section 776.041.
Apart from the stupidity of the headline writer, the point that Zimmerman did not suffer serious injuries is irrelevent. The Florida law, as well as self-defense laws in states that do not have a stand your ground provision, only require that you to have a REASONABLE EXPECTATION of immediate death or grievous bodily harm.
Authors Matthew Lysiak and Rich Schapiro, who anonymous sources claimed cheated in college writing courses and were sexually inadequate drunkards, have actually obtained employment offers despite their profound lack of cognitive skills.
Just putting the emphasis where I though it was more applicable to this story.
Clearly he didn’t sustan ‘fatal’ injuries.
And who ever said he did?
Third thing - a former co-worker’s word about why Zimmerman was fired is not reliable. They should ask the boss why Z was fired.
Wish the thug had pulled his stunt in Texas, then the whole damn neighborhood could have legally shot the bastard.
I am thinking an editor put the title on the article. But they should have noticed themselves and had it corrected. Sad state of journalism when they cannot proof read before printing a story like that. Online or on paper.
Obama’s lynch mob:
“You can only fight back if they’ve killed you.”
I do believe they've set a new standard for shoot-yerself-in-the-foot journalism!
Gee. Duh.
Well, if he had already been dead when he shot the kid then no-one would be mad at him.
I was owing to comment that if George Zimmerman had suffered fatal injuries, we would not be talking about the death of Trayvon Martin, but I see that you have that covered.
Well of course he didn’t sustain fatal injuries...he’s still alive.
Typing on an iPad , that was supposed to be, going, not, owing. Sorry.
Congratulations!
Shouldn’t there be some type of literacy test for professional writers? I use the term “writers” because most news articles couldn’t possibly be written by journalists.
