Sunday Biker Gang Shooting Leaves Nine Dead, 16 Injured
KWTX (May 17, 2015) By: Lauren Partain, Carlos Garcia and Brandon Marshal

Three rival motorcycle gangs turned a local restaurant into a shooting gallery Sunday afternoon and when the gunfire was over, nine people were dead and 17 were injured..

Waco police Sunday afternoon, assisted by Department of Public Safety troopers, police officers from several cities and deputies from the McLennan County Sheriff's Office were surrounding the Twin Peaks Restaurant, in the Central Texas Market Place after several people were reported shot during a rival motorcycle gang fight, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.

Police and troopers were in the parking lot trying to secure the area and protect citizens when a fight broke out inside the restaurant and spilled into the parking lot.

Swanton said the fight quickly escalated from fists and feet to chains, clubs and knives, then to gunfire.

Gang members were shooting at each other and officers at the scene fired their weapons, as well, Swanton said.

The scene at the Market Place between Don Carlos and Twin Peaks was absolute chaos, Swanton said.

"It is one of the most violent scene I've seen in my 34 years as a police officer in Waco," Swanton said.

Swanton said officers recovered more than 100 weapons from the scene and there were several vehicles that had bullet holes in them.

Swanton said no officers and no civilians were injured.

The Hells Angels would dominate if they ever stepped into the octagon.

This is how these dudes try to impress the Twin Peaks wait staff?

Solid effort I guess.

They were stacking them like cord wood it seems. I'm seeing some smaller clubs named The Cassocks, Vaqueros. I wouldn't be surprised if some Bandidos show up in the mix. Texas news feeds are showing that the various clubs are calling in reenforcements.

I realize these aren't the Hells Angels, but the minute nine people are dead and you're shooting at police, you transition from a club to a gang. The bottom line is these guys screwed up today and many of them are going to server time because of it.

I live in Texas and wondered why my neighbor would take his gun with him every time he would ride his Harley. This is the reason. I bet over half these guys had guns on them.

even money the cops starting shooting first and ballistics show all the dead were hit by cop bullets.

THIS.

cops panic and send 15+1 rounds in the general direction which is leaving them scared/startled/angry.

dont recognize any of the club names. Probably all smaller ones under the Bandidos, HA's or something

I'd hate to have to prosecute this case - at least 5 different gangs were involved, estimated 150 - 200 people involved.

About time. These tough guy outlaws hadn't done anything press worthy since they roughed up some hippie at a grateful dead concert in 1967. I was starting to think all they did was ride around and bake cupcakes.

A couple of smaller ones were there too, the Scimitars, Leathernecks, Veterans and Los Pirados. It seems like the big battle was the Bandidos and Cassocks, with affiliated clubs joining in too.
