Police say iPad may prove key in Zimmerman marital altercation case
(CNN) -- An iPad used to shoot video of a confrontation that allegedly erupted Monday between George Zimmerman and his estranged wife, Shellie, and her father might prove key in determining whether charges will be filed, police said Tuesday in Lake Mary, Florida."Unfortunately, the iPad is in several pieces," police spokesman Zach Hudson told reporters about the device, which he said George Zimmerman had damaged.The incident comes two months after Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted of second-degree murder in the shooting death in nearby Sanford of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old unarmed youth.Police have sent the pieces of the iPad for analysis, Hudson said. "We want to get all the information, the footage, off it."It was not clear who, if anyone, would be charged in the case, he said. "It depends on what the iPad has on it," he said. "What that footage looks like."No charges were filed after the incident on Monday afternoon, when police answered a 911 call from Shellie Zimmerman during which she said her husband had threatened her and her father with a gun."There was no gun found," Hudson said. "There was no weapon, nor was there any weapon involved.

Guard hailed for moving Florida resort guests before collapse
(CNN) -- Judging from the yells and sounds of breaking glass, security guard Richard Shanley thought there was a fight at Summer Bay Resorts' building 104 on Sunday night.Then he listened a little closer."I hear people coming out and hollering, 'The building is coming apart!' At that time, I looked down the breezeway and I could literally see the building coming down in pieces," Shanley recalled to CNN Tuesday.That's when Shanley, who'd been flagged down by one of the guests, hustled door to door, waking guests up to ensure everyone left the building's 24 vacation villas as windows cracked and parts of the building separated.Later that night, much of the three-story structure collapsed into a sinkhole at the central Florida resort near Walt Disney World.The sinkhole -- 100 feet wide by Tuesday -- swallowed a number of rooms and, with them, clothing and other belongings that the harried guests left behind.
