A man who heard someone trying to break into his home in North Long Beach overnight fired his gun in their direction, but it appears no one was hurt, police said.

Officers were called to the home in the 200 block of Orleans Way near the Compton border about 10:30 p.m. Saturday, where the man told them one or more people tried to break in, said Officer Ben Hearst.

“Fearing for his safety, the resident retrieved a firearm and shot in the direction of the suspect(s),” Hearst said in an email. Police were unable to find any potential suspects or gunshot victims and no arrests were made, he said.
