One of three bikers indicted on murder charges Wednesday stemming from a chaotic 2015 shooting outside a Texas restaurant is accused of killing a man who was also shot twice by police, according to ballistics evidence reviewed by The Associated Press.
The indictments against Glenn Walker and two fellow members of the Bandidos motorcycle club mark the first murder charges filed in connection to the melee that left nine bikers dead, 20 wounded and nearly 200 arrested outside a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco.
Investigators say the shooting was sparked by rivalries between the Bandidos and Cossacks motorcycle clubs ahead of a biker meeting. Waco police monitoring the gathering said officers opened fire after fights and gunfire broke out in the parking lot.
Walker is accused of fatally shooting Richard Kirschner, a Cossacks member. An autopsy report shows Kirschner was shot three times: once in the buttocks with a pistol and twice with a rifle in the right thigh and left knee.
A pistol registered to Walker and a bullet it fired were recovered from the back of a police vehicle at the scene, according to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Kirschner's rifle wounds were traced to a Waco SWAT officer's .223-caliber rifle during a forensic firearms analysis conducted for police, according to police records previously reviewed by the AP.
The officer who used the rifle, Michael Bucher, said during an internal investigation that he saw Kirschner chasing another man with a big chain. Bucher said he fired one round and Kirschner fell, but then fired again after he saw Kirschner get up on one knee and swing the chain. The officer said Kirscher then stayed on the ground.
Kirschner later was pronounced dead at a hospital.

In before mac_truck, who seems to be TG’s stand in.
WTF???
So the cops killed him by first opening him up and then letting him bleed out?
That's where Democrats keep their brains...
Good thing for the cop that this Kirschner’s major arteries were in his buttocks, and not in his thighs, like most normal humans...

Defense lawyer’s delight!
They will probably be too circumspect to go to trial, though. All cases dismissed!
Shame on you. You need to get your priorities in order.
You left out rey. Short for Reyna?
And TG seems to have withdrawn from the field of battle since Reyna lost.
Don’t you stash your guns and fired bullets in the back of police cars for safe keeping?
Convict the police of murder.
Who had GSR?

New standard procedure for TDPS and Rangers — to open fire and “kill them all and let God sort them out.
>>The officer who used the rifle, Michael Bucher, said during an internal investigation that he saw Kirschner chasing another man with a big chain.
Didn’t the video show him just swinging a chain? Was it a high caliber chain?
And was the gunshot to the buttocks after the two rifle shots by the police officer? Odd way to deliver a death shot to a man already laying on the ground.
The police who fired shots (and hit targets) were cleared long ago.
Wouldn't that see to be the fatal shot?
