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.
That would be profiling...and hateful...
Yesterday, Fang & I pulled into a carwash. A car pulled up
out in front of us & just sat there STARING at us like we
were monkeys in the zoo. - Maybe he thought he knew us; but
still WHY STARE AT US? Just wave at us & drive on; but he
just SAT THERE STARING! - I think maybe that the only thing
that prevents assaults from criminals is the VERY REAL
threat of citizens bearing firearms. - Fang glared back. So
did I, & we MAY just have been armed.
But its AGAINST THE LAW for a felon to have a gun!!!! Didn’t anyone tell him???
I only have one question.
Was this convicted Felon on his way to Vote when he was killed?
If so, he was obviously disenfranchised.
We need more gun laws to convicted felons can’t have guns!!!
Oh, we all ready have those laws.
Black on black shootings do not qualify as “Black Lives Which Matter”, and as a White Male Oppressor I’m not allowed to even offer an opinion on this. But in solidarity with the survivor, nice shot, Titus.
You don’t want to claim disenfranchisement when you’re going to vote from the grave in Nov. anyway. But then again maybe they can claim it because Broner didn’t get to vote twice.
He had just finished registering to vote in Virginia by email. Hope he remembered to get all his votes for Hitlery in on the early voting site.
Like buzzards circling to see if any cash was on offer.
He was the world’s oldest aspiring rapper.
Note: ‘Bernard called 911’
Lesson from a good training class.
1) Be the first to call.
2) When Police arrive, stand there with hands up and unloaded gun on the ground.
If you follow just these rules, 90% chance nothing seriously bad will happen to you.
“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood,” Harris continued. “You have to understand … how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point of view.”
let me guess he was an aspiring rapper.
The correct term, according to DOJ, is justice-involved individual.
He has joined the “Choir Invisible!”
“According to local NBC affiliate WESH, Broner had an extensive criminal history and has been arrested more than 30 times on charges ranging from drug possession to assault. In fact, Broner was arrested just three weeks ago for aggravated assault with a firearm, domestic violence battery and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon”
“you mad, bro(ner)?”
