Police arrested a 43-year-old Hamden man who is accused of shooting his roommate in the leg.
Police said they responded to 106 Arch St. around 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday and found the victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg, so Hamden Fire Rescue arrived and provided medical assistance. The victim was then transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital.
Police said the victim and his roommate, 31-year-old Christopher Perez, got into an argument, which turned physical and Perez shot the victim while two children were in the residence.
Perez left in a car and Waterbury Police found him and transported him back to Hamden Police, police said.
Perez was charged with first-degree assault, criminal possession of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm, first-degree reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and two counts of risk of injury to a minor.
He was held on a $200,000 bond and is due in court on Jan. 31.
