A grandmother was shot in the leg Tuesday night during a drive-by shooting in Brevard County, deputies said.
Several shots were fired at a home on Beth Street in Titusville while Mary Brown, 63, sat on her couch, authorities said.
Members of her family said they were asleep when the gunfire erupted as Mary Brown watched TV.

“If my family would have been in here instead of going to bed early, I would have been planning funerals for my whole family,” said the victim’s daughter, Christina Brown.
Mary Brown suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was later released from the hospital, deputies said.
“She can’t walk. She can hobble a little bit, but she didn’t even want to stand up earlier,” said Christina Brown.
She said she’s at a loss as to why someone would shoot into her mother’s home.
The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said it is looking at the possibility that someone may have been targeting another relative in the home who is known to law enforcement.
He wasn’t at the residence during the shooting, but two children were.
“I hope somebody will step up if they do know something,” said Christina Brown.
The family members living in the home said they are staying with other family members.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
