***Officers said there were multiple types of weapons used, including guns, chains, knives, bats and clubs.***
***“There were maybe 30 guns being fired in the parking lot, maybe 100 rounds,” said Michelle Logan, 37, who was at Twin Peaks at the time of the shooting and said she knows some of the victims. “They just opened fire.”***
UPDATE, 4:00 p.m.(CDT): At least nine people are confirmed dead in a shooting around noon Sunday at Twin Peaks restaurant, said Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton. All of the fatalities are members of biker gangs. No patrons, servers or less enforcement officials were killed, Swanton said.
There is a very significant increase in law enforcement in McLennan County right now, Swanton said. Local, county, state and federal agencies are involved in investigations.
DPS and intelligence agents were working on the investigation long before today and Waco police have been aware of the inquest for more than a month, said Swanton.
Twin Peaks and Don Carlos were closed down after the shooting, and witnesses are being questioned on the scene and at the police department, according to the sergeant.
“The management wanted them here,” Swanton said of Twin Peaks officials. “Management knew that there were issues, and we were here, but they continued to let those groups of people into their business.”

There were at least three rival gangs on the scene when the shooting occurred, Swanton said.
At least 12 Waco officers, including a SWAT team, and other DPS troopers were at Twin Peaks or in the immediate area when the incident broke out.
Waco police officers moved in and did fire rounds during the incident, Swanton said, praising their quick response.

“Intel other biker gangs coming to Waco, we are prepared to deal with those individuals if they come to Waco.”
Just treat the first group like Little Bill did to English Bob in the movie “Unforgiven”.
A neighbor of mine is friends with lots of bikers, many in gangs. He said they keep their battles quiet so as to avoid the notice of the cops (and citizens). “And most of them are good guys - they do toy runs and stuff too.”
I guess these guys forgot the memo on keeping their rivalries quiet.
I hate fake boobs and hear the girls now adays are clean shaven down there thats sick
