TITUSVILLE, Fla. — A Titusville police officer shot and killed a suspect Sunday evening after an altercation stemming from a domestic situation.  

The shooting happened just after 7 p.m. Sunday at a home on Gayle Avenue. The officer involved was not seriously injured.

Titusville Police said their officers responded to a 911 call reporting a man was violently assaulting a woman in the roadway.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement responded to the scene and will be investigating the shooting, which is standard procedure for these types of incidents.

At this point the name of the officer who fired the gun or the suspect killed have not been released.
