A man with a concealed weapons permit pulled out a gun on a robber and shot him to death in Gainesville, police reported.

According to a report in the Gainesville Sun , the shooting appears to be in self defense and the shooter will not face charges.

Police identified the dead man as Arkeen Bennett. The name of the shooter was not released.
