He does have a concealed weapons permit," Bryant said.According to the report, he fired three shots at the two men and they fired back. One man was hit and died on the way to the hospital. The other man took off running.The victim's wife ran out and found her husband wounded. She called 911 and paramedics rushed him to Orlando Regional Medical Center.
