Reginald Campos was arrested for attempted murder by the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office.
The girls got into the car and drove away, but Serbeck and the HOA president followed. The girls became upset and according to the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office, one of the girls call her father, 43-year-old Reginald Campos, and said the men were stalking them.
When the girls arrived home, Campos sent three of the girls inside and he and his daughter went looking for the two men and found them in an SUV a few blocks away.
Lt. Don Hutson said, "They both got out of the vehicle. They were both armed with handguns ... words were exchanged, there was a verbal altercation, and unfortunately Mr. Campos, who is the father of the young lady, fired two rounds, possibly three rounds, at Mr. Serbek."
Authorities say Serbeck was hit with one of the bullets in the left shoulder and it traveled near his spine.
"We received the initial call, and essentially it was a 911 call from a gentleman who said, ‘I've shot somebody, I need the police,'" Hutson said.
Serbeck was flown by a helicopter to Intermountain Medical Center in very critical condition.
The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office arrested Campos for attempted murder. The Sheriff's office says Campos did not have a concealed weapons permit, but Serbeck did.
We spoke to neighbors who were with Serbeck last night at a neighborhood barbecue. They say it's no surprise to them that he was patrolling the neighborhood. They say he is a great guy who helps everyone.
Neighbors David and Sheryl Babcock said, "He's a pretty peaceful guy. Because he has a military background, I'm sure he would defend himself in a situation like that, but his personality is not an aggressive one like that. He's very laid back, always one to make a joke, everyone's friend, quick to throw an arm around you. Everyone's friend for sure."
The Salt Lake County District Attorney will screen the case.

Wow that's crazy. Prime example of what not to do. I love that it says they were all armed legally!
