The man who was shot by a Metro Police officer is speaking out on a blog. Thirty-two-year-old Raymond James Duensing used a website to recount his version of what happend when he was shot. He claims that he was pulled over on Cheyenne Ave just west of Michael Way by motorcycle officer David Gilbert. Gilbert allegedly stopped him for driving through an intersection in a right turn only lane. Duensing claims he stepped out of the vehicle with his arms above his head and that's when the officer used his Taser. Duensing says he pulled the taser prongs from his chest and out of instinct started to run, when he was shot in the back. He did have a knife and gun on him but he claims he never took them out. Gilbert has been placed on administrative leave and an investigation is pending. Duensing is an attorney and declared third-party candidate against Senator Harry Reid.
