Three people in Colorado were arrested, and the police are searching for a fourth after they allegedly kidnapped and brutally assaulted one of their roommates.
The victim, a 45-year-old, ended up at Saint Anthony’s Medical Center in Lakewood, where he told sheriff’s deputies about the incident.
According to reports, the man had been living with his roommates for a few weeks before the attack. He said he overheard them plotting to harm him while he was in the basement bedroom. To escape the possible confrontation, he tried to crawl out of a window. When he could not get out, he blocked the door hoping to shield himself from potential harm. The man’s roommates were able to open the door, and they were allegedly holding airsoft-style guns loaded with rock salt. They reportedly began shooting at him before beginning the alleged physical assault.
