The man shot by an immigration agent in Austin, Texas, over the weekend said Monday that he was bleeding and in pain and that a bullet remained lodged in his back.
The man, Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, an immigrant from Venezuela, said on a speakerphone at a news conference that he only felt one gunshot enter his body when a federal immigration officer shot him. He added that the bullet near his spine was not removed at a hospital because a doctor said that agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement were in a hurry to transport him.
