body-paragraph\">JACKSONVILLE, Fla.  \u2014 A Jacksonville man is now partially paralyzed after investigators said he was shot in the back by a neighbor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Police said Kyle McFarlane was shot during a dispute between that neighbor and another woman, and they arrested Getchell and charged him with attempted murder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">According to a police report, McFarlane told officers a couple of days prior to the shooting that he had ongoing arguments with a neighbor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">The report said they were mostly about<b> <\/b>dogs barking through the night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">McFarlane also reported previous incidents, including dog droppings left on his doorstep and along the side of his home.<\/p>\n<p

jsuuLb body-paragraph\">We verified that the sign was at the alleged shooter\u2019s home, and facing McFarlane\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">\u201cWhen we hear that someone has been shot over this, that is a major cause of alarm,\u201d local advocate Echo Nova said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"> Community advocates said they believe this was a hate-filled attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to do everything we can to make sure that it does not happen again,\u201d Nova said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">However, the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office said the determination on whether or not the shooting was a hate crime based on Florida State Statute will come later on during the penalty phase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb
