George Zimmerman’s wife used her iPad to record a confrontation with her estranged husband, and investigators are trying to recover the footage, Florida police said Tuesday.

“We’re going to be taking it to be forensically analyzed,” Lake Mary, Fla., Police public information officer Zach Hudson told NBC News. “It should have a good bit of information on it.”

Cops have already reviewed dashcam video taken by officers who responded to the argument that erupted as the spouses each collected belongings from the home on Monday afternoon.

With guns drawn, the officers ordered George Zimmerman to get out of his car, walk backwards with his hands in the air and get down on his knees before they cuffed him, video released Tuesday showed.

Police are waiting to see what’s on the iPad – which was busted into pieces – before deciding whether to charge either of the Zimmermans with domestic battery, Hudson said.

“As of right now it could be either one or it could be no one,” Hudson told reporters. “It depends on what that iPad has on it.”

Shellie Zimmerman, who called 911 during the dispute, said that her husband grabbed the iPad from her and smashed it, but he told cops she struck him with the tablet, police said.

She also told police that he threatened her with a handgun and attacked her father, although she and and her dad later told officers they never actually saw a gun, Hudson said.

No one was charged, and cops said they found no gun.
