Caleb Gannon, 31, has been charged with assault and battery following a violent clash with pro-Israel demonstrators on September 12, which left him hospitalized for weeks.
Prosecutors stated that the conflict escalated when Gannon accused demonstrators of defending genocide and eventually tackled one of them, leading to him being shot.
Scott Hayes, the alleged shooter, who has claimed self-defense and faces charges, contended that Gannon attempted to grab his gun during their struggle.
Despite suffering "life-changing injuries," Gannon's case highlights growing tensions surrounding the Israel-Gaza conflict as it spurred violent encounters in local communities.
