The incident happened Friday night at around 11:30 when 3 to 4 suspects entered a home after breaking out glass on a rear door.
According to police, once inside, the suspects confronted 3 adults and 3 children. As they began to make demands, the suspects were confronted by two pit bulls.
As the suspects were retreating, one of them fired a shot from a hand gun into the house which narrowly missed a child.
The suspect fled to a vehicle however 21-year-old Richard Cohen did not make it back to the car prior to them fleeing.
Troopers found him in a wooded area approximately ¼ mile from the house.
Troopers also located a weapon in the woods, but believe it is not the one that was used to shoot into the house.
Cohen was charged with Attempted Robberyt, Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited, Burglary, and related offenses.
He was committed to the Department of Correction in default of $98,500 cash bail.
The investigation is still ongoing.
