After taking three bullets to the leg during a violent confrontation with members of the Bandidos motorcycle gang on Saturday, a New Mexico man who goes by the name of “Shady” called into a national YouTube podcast to give his side of the story.

First, Shady said the motorcycle club he started nearly a decade ago in New Mexico and named the Waterdogs is not an outlaw gang.

“I’m just a hometown guy with only seven members in my club,” he said of the group that’s based in the Albuquerque Metro area.

Shady, who is the Waterdogs president, insisted the Bandidos were the aggressors and had attacked him in the past, all over a now-2-year-old photo posted on Facebook. The photo showed Shady with at least one member of a rival gang of the Bandidos.

Police have released few details of how the multiple shootings unfolded other than to say three members of motorcycles groups were killed and five were injured Saturday on the main streets of Red River.
