The shooting happened at about 12:48 a.m. Monday inside a Circle K at the corner of John Young Parkway and Old Winter Garden Road.
According to an initial investigation by police, Delvin Jamar Broner, 36, initiated an argument with Titus Bernard, 29. During the argument, Broner, a convicted felon, drew a firearm that was partially concealed in his clothing. When Bernard, who has a valid concealed weapons permit, saw Broner drawing his gun, he produced his own firearm and fired several shots at Broner, police said.
Bernard called police, waited for officers to arrive and has cooperated with the investigation, police said. Witnesses corroborated Bernard's account, according to investigators. Bernard hasn't been charged.
None of the convenience store employees were involved, and no one else was injured.
The Orlando Police Department is not asking for criminal charges in this case, but it will be sent to the State Attorney's Office for review, a department spokeswoman said.
The investigation is ongoing.
