Six shots were fired into a police cruiser early Tuesday morning in the neighborhood where 17-year old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.
The cruiser, which was parked in front of the “Retreat at Twin Lakes” apartment complex near Bentley Elementary School, was unoccupied at the time of the shooting. School authorities asked that it be parked there several weeks ago because of escalated security concerns, but it has now been removed because of the damage. Reports say that gunfire knocked out at least one of the car’s windows.
Since the Trayvon Martin shooting, residents of the town say tensions have reached a “boiling point.” One official told ABC News that the emergency operation centers in at least three nearby counties have been raised to Level II- the same level enacted before a hurricane.
The city’s mayor, Jeff Triplett, reportedly acknowledged the tension and tried to calm the situation.
“Are we a kindling box? Sure,” he said. “But we‘re working down a path and so far it’s been absolutely peaceful.” . . . .

The family member believes the reason Holder hasn’t made those arrests is because he, like the members of the New Black Panther Party, is black.
“I am writing you to ask you why, when the law of the land is crystal clear, is your office not arresting the New Black Panthers for hate crimes?” the family member wrote to Holder. . . .

At the same time, Adkins stepped around a corner into the path of the vehicle and angry words were exchanged between he and the driver.

They got into an altercation and Adkins was shot once by the driver. He died at the scene.

The driver, a 22-year-old black male, called police but has not been arrested. . . .
