ORLANDO, Fla. — A man is claiming self-defense after another customer at a gas station pulled a gun out during an argument early Monday.
The incident happened at about 12:48 a.m. between Titus Bernard, 29, and Delvin Jamar Broner, 36, the Orlando Police Department said.
The altercation started as an argument between the two that was instigated by Broner, investigators said.
The situation escalated and Broner, a convicted felon, pulled out a gun.
Bernard, who had a valid concealed weapons permit, pulled his own gun and fired several times, killing Broner, police said.
"I don't know what I would have done is someone had pulled a gun out on me like that," said a witness. “He's alright then right? That's the law. Zimmerman pulled it off."
Bernard called 911 and waited for officers to arrive at the North John Young Parkway Circle-K.
Police reported finding Broner dead on the floor of the business.
Broner and Bernard were customers at the gas station, and no employees were involved, police said.
Witness statements corroborated Bernard’s version of the events, but the investigation into the shooting is ongoing, the department said.
Channel 9 found out Broner had been arrested numerous times, and he shouldn’t have even been carrying a gun.
Members of Bromer's family showed up at the scene of the shooting Monday morning, but declined to comment.
What was Broner doing with a firearm? How did he pass the background check?
If we just outlawed all guns, this never would have happened...
Both Amish???
Amish on Amish crime like this is unworthy of national news.

36-year-old Delvin Jamar Broner was a convicted felon, not allowed to own a firearm but, surprise! He had one and, like most idiot criminals, didn’t think twice about pulling it out during an argument with another man, Titus Bernard, 29, at a convenience store in Orlando.
Bernard, who has a legal concealed carry permit, fired his gun at Broner, killing him.
Statements from witnesses align with Bernard’s account of the events leading up to the shooting.
Thanks for those details, Iron.
Give this guy a medal! One less parasite leeching off the system and causing trouble.
Literally millions of dollars were saved killing this asshat.
When you see "Civilization thanks you" Memes....it doesn't have a grain of truth in it: it has bushels and bushels of it.
If we just outlawed all violent felons....
Delvin Jamar Broner - convicted felon pulling an illegally carried gun during an argument.
I think he certainly looks the part, don’t you?
So existing gun control laws didn't work... except the one that allows for legal Conceal and Carry.
Damned shame, he was going to use the proceeds from the robbery to turn his life around...no, really.
Thank you Mr. Bernard. A job well done with immediate justice.
How? Plane tickets one-way to Europe? Never mind that, we should pay for those to these low lives.

The dude was not a felon anymore, he was a person who was formerly incarcerated...
