A biker with a "big yellow helmet" who appeared to be in charge pulled out a "long, 'Dirty Harry'-type pistol" and fired the first shot in the May 2015 Twin Peaks biker brawl, a former Twin Peaks employee testified Tuesday.
While testimony thus far has not revealed who was wearing the "big yellow helmet," previous video and photographic evidence presented by the state show Jacob Carrizal leading a band of Bandidos into Twin Peaks while riding a shiny blue motorcycle and wearing a yellow helmet.
Also, a CNN special on the one-year anniversary of the shootout featured an interview with Carrizal, who said he was punched by a Cossack seconds after he pulled up. A CNN announcer identifies Carrizal on video footage as the biker leading the group into Twin Peaks and wearing a yellow helmet.
It is unclear how many other bikers were wearing yellow helmets that day.

... He said he next saw a man swinging a large chain and shot him.
Must've been an automatic assault chain with a bump stock.
I’d call that a chain gun.
This testimony is just one of many nails in his coffin to come in this defendant’s trial.
It’s peculiar that the police did not shoot the first triggerman/murderer/ring leader but they did kill a man armed with a chain swinging wildly at butterflies but not making contact with any victim.
They also did not shoot the biker who stood over a man and executed/assassinated him.
12 shots, 4 kills, from the law enforcement agents on the scene. Injured 1 of the other 22 men who apparently had bullet injuries.
44 shell casings at the scene. 5 dead by at least 2 murderers who were not shot by police or anyone else that day.
I’m wondering about the deceased. I have the names, but not who they were each affiliated with. And which four were killed by police.
Thanks for update

Only one biker was wearing a yellow helmet in the group that pulled in immediately prior to the shooting... Dallas Bandido VP Jacob Carrizal.
The only question is whether or not his actions were justified.
The next witness is April Kendrick, supervisor of the firearm and tool mark section at the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences. 3:20 PM - 30 Oct 2017
Of the 12 .223-caliber rounds fired by Waco police, seven were found in the location where officer Michael Bucher said he was set up. 4:22 PM - 30 Oct 2017
Four were found in the area closest to where Heath Jackson said he was and the 12th round was found in a truck bed on the other side of TP. 4:24 PM - 30 Oct 2017
She said projectiles or fragments from Bucher's rifle were recovered from Richard Lockhart, Richard Kirchner, Jacob Rhyne, Daniel Boyett. 4:36 PM - 30 Oct 2017
Projectiles or fragments from Jackson's rifle were found in Wayne Campbell. 4:38 PM - 30 Oct 2017
She eliminated the police officers' rifles in shootings of Kirshner, who also was shot with a caliber too large to be police rifles. 4:40 PM - 30 Oct 2017
She also eliminated police weapons in shootings of William Richardson, Clifford Pearce, Reginald Weathers, Julian Carrizal, Jesus Rodriguez 4:43 PM - 30 Oct 2017
Thanks, that helps. I have something off so far. For some reason I have ten names on my list, and only three of those match up to this info. I thought it was 9 dead, 4 by LE.
Is Julian Carrizal deceased? That is not among my 10.
Not dead, only wounded.
Yes (sounded bad). And I had one guy listed twice, slightly differently, in my hand notes. Found a good list in a search.
Think I’ll do it Word so I can edit/post it.
The tenth was probably Kirshner.
Kirshner is the only one of about 20 bikers brought to the hospital who died. 9:32 AM - 30 Oct 2017
I saw it and my brain went to chain saw (guess what I’ve been doing).
But - I wonder if one could modify a chain-saw blade so it would flex more for whipping around. (leave two links together, put in a loop of regular chain, repeat) Carrying it around would be problematic - but it would leave some nasty cuts.
