From media accounts it seems likely that a fight broke out between rival gang members that accelerated into a gun fight when someone opened fire. The local police (who were already there in mass) then opened fire on the gang members. Many people who were charged were not armed and did nothing more than duck for cover when the shooting started.
Of course, I was not there. I always start from the assumption that most of what the lamestream media prints about anything is at best distorted or at worst outright lies. So there is no telling what really happened until there is at least one trial.
“Many people who were charged were not armed and did nothing more than duck for cover when the shooting started. “
hmmm ... 475 / 200 = 2.4 weapons per person.
“The Waco Police Department said in a released that 475 weapons were seized following the incident. The number includes 151 firearms, 12 of which were long guns. Other weapons recovered included knives, brass knuckles, batons, tomahawks, a hatchet, stun guns, bats, clubs, a machete, a pipe, an ax, pepper spray and a chain. “
