Police car shot at as tensions in Trayvon Martin case boil over In a statement, Sanford police said the vehicle had been parked in the area at the request of the school as "a visible deterrent due to tour buses using the school property to park during the day and evening hours." The shots shattered the car's windshield and a window, and pierced its hood. Mayor Jeff Triplett told ABC News: "Are we a kindling box? Sure. But we're working down a path and so far it's been absolutely peaceful. In his first public statements since the shooting, Mr Zimmerman said he had started a website to raise money for his legal costs and living expenses after his "entire life" was affected by a "life altering event." The site, therealgeorgezimmerman.com, includes a PayPal link to donate money due to his "forced inability to maintain employment." It says: "I thank you for your patience and I assure you, the facts will come to light." The Trayvon Martin case has highlighted continuing racial divisions in the United States, with polls showing most black people are unhappy with the police handling of the case. Protesters claim that Mr Zimmerman, whose father is white and mother Hispanic, would have been charged immediately had he been black and the victim white. On a section of his website titled "My race," Mr Zimmerman quoted author and Founding Father Thomas Paine, saying: "The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."
