| Description: | George Zimmerman, the Florida man who fatally shot Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, plans to auction the handgun used in the 2012 killing on Thursday. “I’m a free American. I can do what I’d like with my possessions,” Mr. Zimmerman said on Wednesday in an interview with WOFL, a broadcaster in Orlando, Fla. Mr. Zimmerman, whose killing of Trayvon as a neighborhood watch leader made the 17-year-old boy a symbol of racial profiling and the face of a protest movement, said he had recently recovered the weapon from the Justice Department. “I thought it’s time to move past the firearm,” Mr. Zimmerman said in the interview. “And if I sell it and it sells, I move past it. Otherwise, it’s going in a safe for my grandkids and never to be used or seen again.” Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s father, released a statement through his lawyer early Thursday saying the family would not be commenting on the “actions of that person that murdered Trayvon.” |
