a man shot and killed an armed robber after he was approached at an ATM at an Orange County bank early Tuesday morning, a Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman said.

The victim, identified as 64-year-old Frederick Hecker, was at the Wells Fargo location at 4549 Hoffner Ave., near Conway Road, when 27-year-old Carlos Medina tried to rob him at gunpoint, spokeswoman Jane Watrel said. Hecker had a gun, for which he has a concealed weapons permit, and exchanged shots with Medina, Watrel said.

Hecker drove away and called 911, then returned to the scene, Watrel said.

Medina was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center in serious condition and later was pronounced dead.
