Authorities in Lake Mary, Florida released a 911 call in the shooting involving George Zimmerman Monday, in which the caller said man told him he "had to shoot" at him.

In the 48-second clip, the unidentified caller told the 911 operator that a man (later identified as Matthew Apperson) "just said he had to shoot someone through his window, so he wants the police to come."

The caller later told the operator, "He said it was George Zimmerman," who was taken to the hospital with minor injuries as result of the exchange.

Authorities said Tuesday they had yet to speak with Apperson or Zimmerman, both of whom had hired lawyers.

The embattled Zimmerman's attorney Don West said that his client's "injuries were to his right forearm and face," adding, "It was a near-death experience, frankly, and he was pretty stunned by the whole thing."
