A fight that escalated to gunfire between rival biker gangs in a Waco, Texas, restaurant parking lot today left nine people dead, police said.
Eighteen people were taken from the scene to hospitals, mostly for gunshot and stab wounds, Waco Police Sgt. Patrick Swanton said at a news conference. Everyone involved was a gang member, police said.
The violence began as a fight between "criminal biker gangs" at the Twin Peaks Restaurant in the Central Texas Market Place early this afternoon, Swanton said. The fight then spilled into the parking lot where gang members fired at each other, Swanton said.
"As that fight progressed, it progressed very rapidly from hands and feet as weapons to chains," he said. "My understanding a club was involved and knives were involved."
Officers were at the scene when the shooting started, police said, and some officers fired at the bikers. No officers were injured, police said.
Witnesses reported hearing as many as 100 rounds fired from 30 guns.
Police closed the entire Central Texas Market Place shopping area, saying that there was a danger of more violence.
"It is still not totally secure because of the intel that we're getting of individuals wanting to do some payback," he said.
Over the past few months, he says they were aware of rival biker gangs causing issues at the Twin Peaks restaurant.
"We have attempted to work with the local management of Twin Peaks to get that cut back to no avail," he said. "They have not been of much assistance to us."

Back where I used to live we told the illegal alien hiring neighbor we thought he was running an illegal alien landscaping school. Twice a week these idiots would be out there with their blowers. After blowing every square inch of grass, trees, bushes and street debris onto the next neighbors property, their kids would pick up the blowers and just walking around with them, using them as blower toys.
Try calling the cops on these idiots who start at 730 am, every day of the week, even in the rain. They'll laugh you off the phone, as Mexican illegals and their noise machines are a totally protected group of people.
“They were just scummy bikers who had it coming.”
Apparently you don’t care that they started a riot in a family strip mall ...
But that is just a bunch of bikers doing what bikers do ...
when they are not pushing drugs or women.

“A semantic ‘Schrodinger’s cat’ is your answer/excuse for what he said? Seriously??”
You were the one that excerpted his post to try to make a point. I merely outed you for that.
“Loud pipes save lives (two-wheelers). Had a friend get killed on 635 because elderly driver did not see nor hear him.”
So do leather shoes, helmets and proper clothing ...
But everyday I see someone with loud pipes with only sunglasses, short sleeve shirt and even flip flops!
“Loud pipes save lives (two-wheelers). Had a friend get killed on 635 because elderly driver did not see nor hear him.”
Then why do dudes with loud pipes white-line in traffic?
You “outed me” only in your own fevered dreams.
I merely repeated what he said, verbatim.
Sorry if that wrecks your agenda.
Since you were obviously an eye witness, I suggest that you contact the Waco PD and give your statement.
Surely it will expedite the investigation.
“From those who were actually there, no bikers killed by bikers.”
From those that were there, Michael Brown was shot in the back and had his hands up.
Because in some states it is perfectly legal to do so?
Just a wild guess.
“It’s all over biker social media, from their own keyboards.”
It was all over the protest media too ... Michael Brown shot in the back with his hands up!
No. I just tend to support convictions before death warrants are issued. It's crazy, I know.
“I merely repeated what he said, verbatim.”
No. You excerpted out the part about weapons.
“Because in some states it is perfectly legal to do so?”
I see my post went over your head.
BTW, the loud pipes are illegal so you post is nonsense.
These are not whiny sucklers of the state teat, seeking to cement their protected species status.
Big difference and you know it.
No community organizers or ‘reverends’ are making their way to Waco to protest this “inequality.
But you just keep those blinders on, nice and tight.
That way, you won’t be spooked when the creeping tyranny gets to you.
“No. I just tend to support convictions before death warrants are issued. It’s crazy, I know. “
We condemn all muslims for not condemning muslim terrorism ...
Wantabe biker gangstas emulate and defend the outlaw bikers
You have completely lost your train of thought.
Allow me to refresh:
The OP “hoped” that the ones with the loudest pipes were among the dead.
Does that reconnect any fatigued synapses?

Refreshed. That was the one where you said he said riders with loud pipes deserved death.
So many distortions by the wantabe outlaws I get them confused.
Other than filling your daily non sequitur quota, what has that to do with *anything*?
Are you finally reduced to grabbing every straw [man] you can think of?
“Might I suggest an iPod with noise cancelling headphones, just for your own sanity, then?”
You are suggesting that he break the law and endanger himself and others just so some wantabe outlaw can make an ass of himself?
