Titusville police carried out a large search late Wednesday after a homeowner fired at least one gunshot during a reported break-in of a mobile home.

The shooting happened about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday in the area of the 400 block of N. Washington Street, prompting multiple patrol officers, police dogs and the Brevard County sheriff’s office to assist with a search. No one was arrested and an investigation continues.

Police said the resident called 9-1-1 dispatchers and said that they barricaded themselves in a bedroom and that someone was attempting to get into the residence.

A short time later, the resident reported firing at least one round toward someone, blowing out a window, Titusville police reported.

Officers arrived and learned that the suspect fled the area. Officers fanned out through the area and searched near the marina and other locations. The suspected burglar was not located.

The resident also told police that the burglar may have gotten to the second floor of the mobile home, although the residence was only a single-wide trailer, authorities said. Anyone with information in the case is asked to call police at 321-264-7801.
