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."

BTW....either temporarily, jail, or permanently, death,...is not summary execution. But if they’re slinging handguns and firing....put down however needs be.
Is this not an incredibly enlightening look into the darkness of some FReeper minds?
“Open your door on him, did you?”
Again, you go with the distortions. I clearly said my mirror was cracked. If I had opened the door he wouldn’t have hit my mirror.
But then all you have in your fight to defend the outlaw gangs is distortions.
So you’re going to be screaming Eff You at Hell’s Angels, sometime soon?
Let us know how that works out for you.
I think some here are those who do hang with the outlaw thugs...as Salamander himself said he does back thread...so they are totally anti-Government and likely oppose cops overall.
Keep up your good work.

go to 165..I forgot to ping you since I mentioned your name and post.
“You honestly just don’t get real, constitutional “free speech”, do you?”
Let me see if I understand you correctly. Since you have assaulted me with your posts, I have a right to off you?
Get real!
Well, it depends on what kind of mirrors, you have, really.
So, if you did not open the door on him, you, instead, merely enjoyed the spectacle of his possible impending injury?
I see.

You again twist my words. Really?
I see.
Water and madness seeks it own level.
Himself is herself.
Herself attends events all summer, at which all are welcome.
Your desperation to paint me black is amusing.
:)
How noble of you to extend such a courtesy.

it was quite a site to see the motorcyclist lose it while whitelining a traffic jam

Salamander is a girl. How many other things that you believe are simply not true?
:D
Why are you arguing with someone who is clearly a homicidal sociopath. His wife/girlfriend likely dumped him for a biker and he’s got butt-hurt.
Ok I stand corrected...he’s a she.
Why thank you....
Sarcasm is not your strong suit, I see.
Yes, I understand the he is a she now....
