HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — A Highlands Ranch man was arrested after he allegedly shot at his roommate following a fight Tuesday evening.

According to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called out to a home in the 9900 block of Aftonwood Street before 9 p.m. for reports of gunshots. The sheriff's office said the residents, who are roommates, were involved in a disturbance outside of the home. At one point, one of the roommates grabbed a gun.
