An off-duty SWAT team member is being called a hero Sunday after shooting an armed robber outside a Brevard County supermarket.

Investigators said it all began after a man went into the Winn-Dixie on Singleton Avenue with a shotgun Saturday night. He then fired a shot at an office door to get inside and grab money.
    
A member of the Kennedy Space Center SWAT team walked in the store, saw what was happening, and then went back to his car to get his gun.

When the suspect, Barry Noetzel, 33, ran out of the store, the SWAT team member shot him in the chest.
    
Noetzel was taken to the hospital, but has since been transferred to the Brevard County Jail.
    
He has a criminal history and is now facing a slew of new charges.
