Read TMZ report below;
The auction for the gun George Zimmerman used to kill
Trayvon Martin has been taken down ... and TMZ has learned it wasn't because
Trayvon's family requested it.
Sources close to the Martin family tell TMZ their legal team
reached out to GunBroker.Com Thursday asking for general info about the sale.
We're told they also asked for the contact info of auction officials. However,
our sources say Martin's team never demanded the auction be canceled.
It's still unclear why the auction was yanked, but we've
been told it's not because someone purchased it already.
Zimmerman put the gun up for sale with a starting bid of
$5k, and the auction was supposed to run all day Thursday -- a mortifying
thought for Trayvon's family. Their attorney tells us ... "It is insulting
to this family that he would decide that he would sell the gun that he killed
their child with. Think about what that means: This is a gun that took a child’s
life and now he wants to make money off of it.”
