Slaying victims linked to 1 clubIn Killeen, investigators suspect 2 men had list of 12 to shoot to death

KILLEEN, Texas -- Diana Denson huddled with her tearful, terrified friends. Bodyguards surrounded them in a living room that had become a secret hideout.
Four people in her small circle of work acquaintances at a club called Teazers had been slain over the gloomy Thanksgiving weekend.
Ms. Denson, a dark-haired exotic dancer, feared she was next. She believed she was on the killers' hit list.
Throughout that nervous Sunday night, cellphones rang incessantly as police, employees and a cadre of security staff tracked down everyone who might be in danger from what police say was a plot to kill a dozen club employees. Manager Scott Davis had closed the club early and gathered them at his home, where he hoped they would be safe.
"We pulled in people from everywhere and locked that place down," Mr. Davis recalled. "And every time I talked to a girl, I had to tell her that her friends were dead."
Two men already were under arrest, but employees were unsure at that time if others were involved.
Angel Davis, a baby-faced dancer at the club and Mr. Davis' wife, made sandwiches in the kitchen and tried not to break down.

bump!
This sounds like a CSI storyline. Not making fun of a tragedy
but it does sound like a tv mystery.
Whodunnit ??? :^)
Linked to 1 Club. Yep, the 1 iron'll do it every time.
Tim's doctor could have prescribed something that helps with that.
Terribly sad. Those poor girls ... one was only 16 and left children (!) somewhere. What a dreadful way to live and die.
It is said that the best way to stay safe during a thunderstorm while playing golf is to stand out on the fairway with a 1-iron held upright above your head, because not even God can hit a 1-iron.
Like your tagline;
I think it's time.
Yep, it's an interesting case of murder with sex thrown in for titillation. Perfect for TV.
