Two dead in Florida shooting

US police say two people are dead and another is injured after a shooting at a central Florida Veterans of Foreign Wars post.

Winter Springs Police said a charity motorcycle ride was supposed to depart from the post when the shooting broke out on Sunday morning while the riders were eating breakfast.

Local papers reported an unknown number of armed men came in and began firing.

It's unclear if anyone shot back.

Veterans of Foreign Wars posts around the country care for veterans and their families.

A judge in Florida has revoked bail for George Zimmerman, the neighbourhood watch captain charged with the second degree murder of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.

MSNBC is reporting that Florida prosecutors asked the judge to revoke bail after it emerged 28-year-old Zimmerman had a second passport he did not surrender to the court.

Prosecutors also alleged he misled the court regarding his finances, when $150,000 bail was granted on April 20.

Family's anger after killer granted bail

The family of Trayvon Martin have reacted angrily to news that his killer has been granted bail.

George Zimmerman is facing trial for second-degree murder after shooting the black unarmed teenager dead in Florida, in what he claims was self-defence.

The lawyer for Trayvon's family, Benjamin Crump, said 'they were devastated' that Zimmerman might soon be out of jail, after saying for the first time, that he was sorry for their loss.

And it was devastating that he got to give a self-serving apology to help him get a bond.

They were very outraged at that.
