UPDATE --

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) -- The Frederick County Sheriff's Office says a Taser shocked a man twice when a deputy used it Sunday to break up a fight.

Officials say the officer fired the Taser at 20-year-old Jarrel Gray, who died a short time later.

A police officer displays a commonly used type of taser gun.

Spokeswoman Jennifer Bailey says data from a computer built into the Taser showed that the second shock was administered 23 seconds after the first.

Bailey says the cause and manner of Gray's death is still under investigation. Steps are being taken to determine whether the stun gun was operating properly.

The county's Chapter of the NAACP is calling on the Sheriff's Office to suspend the use of Tasers until there are more answers to questions about Gray's death.
