WEST JORDAN — A man paralyzed from the chest down says the man who allegedly shot him was in a rage just before it happened.

Reginald George Campos is charged with attempted murder with injury, a first-degree felony, in the July 22 shooting of David Serbeck, 36.

Serbeck told a court during a preliminary hearing that Campos was pointing the gun, pacing back and forth and yelling just before the shooting in Bluffdale, a Salt Lake City suburb.

Charging documents say the shooting happened after Campos, 43, confronted Serbeck, thinking Serbeck and another neighborhood watch group member had been harassing Campos' daughter. Charges allege Campos fired two shots at Serbeck, one of which severed his spinal cord.
