Samford Police Car Shot Full of Holes!

Already reeling from weeks of tension over the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the town of Sanford, Fla., is dealing with a new controversy.

Several shots were fired at an empty city police cruiser around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. Witnesses reported hearing at least six gunshots, according to multiple local media reports.

The police car was parked near the site where Martin was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman on Feb. 26. Zimmerman claims he acted in self-defense, and has not been arrested or charged with a crime — a fact that has sparked protests nationwide.

The cruiser had been parked across from Sanford’s Bentley Elementary for several weeks at the school's request, according to The Associated Press.

In a statement, Sanford police said it was being used as "a visible deterrent due to tour buses using the school property to park during the day and evening hours."

The shots hit the car's windshield, pierced its hood, and shattered one of its windows, police told Fox Orlando.

No one was hurt.

The shooting comes at a time when tensions are running high in the small central Florida city.
