An Oklahoma woman was shot multiple times, while trying to remove a Nazi flag from a large flagpole in a Garfield County man's front yard.

The victim is currently receiving medical care in a hospital after she was gravely injured from the incident.

According to the Garfield County Sheriff's office, Kyndal McVey, the 26-year-old victim had attended a party nearby, when she swiped one of the Nazi flags flying outside the shooter's home.

Alexander John Feaster, 44, was charged with felony assault, battery with a deadly weapon, and shooting with intent to kill after he shot the victim in the back with a semi-automatic rifle.

He was booked into the county jail on June 28, the WSB-TV reported. Several people found McVey lying in a ditch near the man's home.

County officials said the victim suffered gunshot wounds to her abdomen and legs.

Lying In Wait

An affidavit obtained by the Enid News & Eagle said the suspect had been lying in wait after he set up inside the front door of his home.

While it was initially suggested that the woman tore the Nazi flag for a dare, an interview with NBC News said there was no accurate information surrounding the victim's motives.

Camera footage from Feaster's home showed he fired at the victim without warning.

A neighbor immediately moved a pickup truck to serve as a barricade after the shooting.

Another witness pointed a rifle on the suspect's property, while waiting for law enforcement officers to arrive.

Court document showed that the shooter fired at least seven or eight shots. Four bullets struck the victim.

Heather Riley, McVey's best friend, set up a GoFundMe page.

According to the description, the victim's condition is steadily improving. She was recently released from the intensive care unit.

While there has yet to be more information on what the victim needs to move forward, Riley wrote that some physical therapy rehab might be part of her recovery process.

As of Tuesday, the page raised $2,194 of its $10,000 goal.

Swastika-Emblazoned Flag

According to a neighbor, Feaster had been flying the flags for over a year.

There have also been multiple incidents, where the flags were stolen from the shooter's home.

Feaster is known to occasionally dress up in a black uniform while wearing a red swastika armband, as reported by the BBC.

The outfit resembles that of the infamous Nazi SS uniforms.

Multiple people stormed social media with screenshots of Feaster's profile on the site Gab.

The website describes itself as a social network that allows free speech and the free flow of information.

On his profile, the phrase "Meine Ehre Heisst Treue" appears. The saying, which translates to "My Honor is Loyalty," is linked to the Waffen SS, a military unit in Nazi Germany.

Since World War II, the German phrase is viewed as a hate slogan. 

Apart from the swastika-emblazoned flag flying up a flagpole, officers saw a smaller Nazi flag sitting in a flag holder outside Feaster's front door.
