George Zimmerman has been taken into custody in Central Florida after an altercation involving a gun and another person.
According to Florida's WKMG Local 6, Lake Mary, Fla. police were called to a residence on Monday afternoon after getting a call that Zimmerman has been involved in a gun incident with another person where a threat was involved.
Reports state that Zimmerman was detained after a domestic dispute involving his wife and father-in-law.
Zimmerman's wife called 911 claiming he threatened her and her dad with a gun, police confirm.
Deputy police chief Colin Morgan said, "There was some kind of a domestic, we know that with his wife and father-in-law. Apparently there were some weapons involved and threats."
Channel 9 in Orlando initially reported that Zimmerman allegedly pulled a knife on his wife when she found a gun in the house they shared and a verbal fight ensued, but they have since deleted that information.
