SANFORD, Fla. - George Zimmerman says he would tell Trayvon Martin's parents: "I'm sorry," and says he's open to talking with them.<br />
<br />
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the teenager's death.<br />
<br />
He made the statement Wednesday in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.<br />
<br />
When asked to explain what he meant when he told a police dispatcher he was following Martin, the neighborhood watch volunteer said he was trying to keep an eye on Martin to tell police.<br />
<br />
Zimmerman says after he got out of his car, Martin was next to him. Zimmerman says he looked down, then looked up and Martin punched him and broke his nose.<br />
<br />
He says as the two were struggling, Martin said "you're going to die tonight." He says Martin also reached for the gun that Zimmerman always carries.<br />
