The customer, identified only as “Chris” to protect his identity, said he walked into a Kangaroo convenience store on Franklin Street and noticed two suspicious men. He returned to his car to get his phone, then heard the clerk inside screaming for help.

Chris, who has a permit to carry a concealed firearm, grabbed his gun and went back inside. He reportedly saw one of the alleged robbers beating the female clerk with a beer bottle.

Chris told the assailant he had a gun, but the man turned toward him in a threatening manner.  Chris fired two shots, killing the suspect.

“I feel very shaken. I feel very glad that I was here, that I could help my friend because I come to this store. I’ve lived in Ocoee for 20 years, and I’m glad I could be here, and I’m glad I was able to help,” Chris said.

Chris said he doesn’t consider himself him a hero. “I saw a lady that was in distress and I came in and took the action that I thought was necessary. […] Hearing a lady scream to where it sounds like bloody murder to where I thought she was going to be killed, I decided to help the lady. I’ve known her for years. She’s a friend of mine, and I wanted to go in and help,” he said.

Investigators said the one suspect (Freddie Carson, 40, of Orlando) was shot was killed, and two other people are sought in the case.
