http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/Waco-Shooting-Near-Twin-Peaks-In-Waco-304043711.htmlThree rival motorcycle gangs turned a local restaurant into a shooting gallery Sunday afternoon and when the gunfire was over, nine people were dead and several were injured. WACO: (May 17, 2015) Three rival motorcycle gangs turned a local restaurant into a shooting gallery Sunday afternoon and when the gunfire was over, nine people were dead and several were injured. Waco police Sunday afternoon, assisted by Department of Public Safety troopers, police officers from several cities and deputies from the McLennan County Sheriff's Office were surrounding the Twin Peaks Restaurant, in the Central Texas Market Place after several people were reported shot during a rival motorcycle gang fight, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said. Police and troopers were in the parking lot trying to secure the area and protect citizens when a fight broke out inside the restaurant and spilled into the parking lot. Swanton said the fight quickly escalated from fists and feet to chains, clubs and knives, then to gunfire. Gang members were shooting at each other and officers at the scene fired their weapons, as well, Swanton said. The scene at the Market Place between Don Carlos and Twin Peaks was absolute chaos, Swanton said. The victims were taken by ambulance to Baylor Scott and White Hillcrest Medical Center, which later was placed on lock down, but officials at Hillcrest said they had no comment. He also said police have been trying to work with management at Twin Peaks for several weeks but have been thwarted in their efforts to avoid a situation like happened Sunday afternoon. A witness who was having lunch across the parking lot at Don Carlos Mexican Restaurant said he and his family had just finished eating and walked into the parking lot when they heard several gunshots and saw wounded being taken from the fight scene. "We crouched down in front of our pick-up truck because that was the only cover we had," the man, who asked not to be identified, said. He and his family were travelling to Selina, Kansas and decided to stop for lunch. He said he saw several wounded men being treated. He also said there were several police officers at the scene and ambulances were responding to the scene to aid those hit by gunfire. At about 2 p.m. a second crime scene was being investigated at the Waco Convention Center but only very few details were known about the situation there. One law enforcement spokesman said there were several armed officers and EMS units on the scene and Washington Avenue and University Parks Drive in that area had been closed. A News 10 photographer who was at the convention center said he witnessed several men being arrested there. Officers also were en route to the Flying J Truck Stop, at New Road and Interstate 35 because a large number of bikers had been seen gathering there. Swanton said the scene at Twin Peaks is "as secure as it can be right now," Swanton said, but police are concerned that groups who were involved in the first incident may be moving to other locations in and around Waco where more violence could erupt. Swanton said citizens should avoid the area until an all clear can be issued. The Interstate 35 exit onto Loop 340 southbound is closed, as is the access road that runs alongside the Interstate. "We have multiple medical and law enforcement resources in the area who are dealing with the issue," Swanton said. Ambulances from West, Limestone and Coryell counties were at the scene to assist local EMS units. Trouble at Twin Peaks among rival bikers had been brewing for some time, District Attorney Abel Reyna told News 10 about two weeks ago. Reyna said local police were on heightened alert in anticipation of trouble on Thursday nights, when Twin Peaks hosts a Biker Night. Reyna said some weeks ago trouble erupted between two local motorcycle gangs and that spilled over into gangs from the Dallas-Fort Worth area showing up to support the local groups

The police responded quickly to this MC gang fight and put a stop to it. I don't know how it can be compared to Ferguson or Baltimore were cops were told to stand down.but, somehow it has: "The deadly gun battle among several factions of biker gangs in Waco, Texas has social media users questioning the civility of its police intervention in the wake of Baltimore and Ferguson’s uprisings.“They’ve recovered at least 100 weapons,” Deray McKesson, a high-profile activist wrote on Twitter. “The (National) Guard would be mobilized now if, black.” http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/ou...ticle-1.2225969 what the fuck? These guys are having a shoot out in a restaurant and people are wondering about the civility of the police response...

update from local Waco area newspaper 5/18/15 http://www.wacotrib.com/news/police/bike...8a05b224da.htmlThe more than 170 members of biker gangs that Waco law enforcement officials say were involved in a deadly biker gang shootout Sunday at Twin Peaks won’t be going anywhere soon. Justice of the Peace W.H. “Pete” Peterson set bonds for 174 gang members charged with engaging in organized criminal activity at $1 million each.“I think it is important to send a message,” Peterson said. “We had nine people killed in our community. These people just came in and most of them were from out of town. Very few of them were from in town.” Meanwhile, a lawyer for Jimmy Don Smith, 59, of Caldwell, moved quickly Monday in getting a bond-reduction hearing set. Dan Jones, a Bryan lawyer, was in Judge Ralph Strother’s 19th State District Court Monday to request the hearing for Smith, a mechanic with Novosad Enterprises of Caldwell. Strother set the hearing for June 5. Peterson declined to release the identities of the nine men killed Sunday because he said only one man’s family has been notified that he knows of so far. He said all but two of those killed were not from the Waco area, but declined to say where they were from. Even if the men bond out of jail, they likely won’t be riding their motorcycles home. The motorcycles were confiscated as part of the massive law enforcement investigation and sources say they likely will be seized and forfeited by McLennan County through civil forfeiture procedures and sold at auction. In affidavits to support the arrests of the bikers issued by Peterson on Monday morning, Waco police officer Manuel Chavez officially identifies the groups as “members and associates of the Cossacks Motorcycle Club and the Bandidos Motorcycle Club.” While Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton declined to identify the opposing groups Sunday, he said at least five motorcycle gangs were involved in the altercation. “The members and associates of the Cossacks and Bandidos were wearing common identifying distinctive signs or symbols and/or had an identifiable leadership and/or continuously or regularly associate in the commission of criminal activities,” the affidavit says. “The Texas Department of Public Safety maintains a database containing information identifying the Cossacks and their associates as a criminal street gang and the Bandidos and their associates as a criminal street gang.” After the shootout, firearms, knives or “other unknown edged weapons,” batons, clubs, brass knuckles and other weapons were recovered from members and associates of both gangs, the complaint alleges. Other weapons also were found on their motorcycles.

Well I'm from Houston so the only encounters I've had are with Banditos . From what I know Texas has been ran by them for a while. Waco is a crazy violent city that's lack of better words country ghetto. A lot of Racism and Guns lol. The Beef reddit Well the accusation is not fully proven. These gangs have been wanting to take control of their local areas over the Banditos. It's probal going to get violent in some areas. Not like war zone but some local biker hotspots on outskirt territories won't be to safe. I swear to you by whatever God you believe in . I've seen a Bandito Prospect that looked almost exactly like the prospect off SoA (S1) . It was at a Wal Mart gas station he bought 12 cartons of cigarettes lol prospect named bucket. Only funny encounter but you see them everywhere in Texas.

Dear Police/ATF...
How many of the killed and wounded were shot by swat/leo's?
How many leo's fired their weapons?
How many did not?
How many bikers fired a gun?
Any surveillance footage, from businesses or yourselves since this meeting was hardly a secret and you were there in force ahead of time?
How many rounds total were fired by leo's?
All basic questions nowhere to be found in the papers/news outlets. Well said because one news station made it sound like some of the bikers were shot by gunfire with cops. And Chicken you are right about the Bandidos. They are becoming one of the biggest m/c's out there.

Sounding like a LOT of surveillance footage will need to be "lost".
What I found from someone local and imho "in the know"...
Another Texas club put a 'Texas" bottom rocker on their vests without going through the proper channels, which is an insult to all the other clubs in the Coalition of Clubs.
Two of the members of the "new" Texas patch were stabbed outside the restaurant and SWAT turned it into a shooting gallery. ALL 9 DEAD AT THE HANDS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Safe to assume many of the injured were also gunshot victims of law enforcement.
Also, when they list the weapons some news outlets have used a very strange wording that does not exactly say guns were taken off the bikers.
And the "chains" as weapons were vest extenders and wallet chains. Get real.
That sounds very plausible. I'm not from Texas but two of those clubs I never heard of, and most here could probably guess which two it was. And the chains comment is dead on, do they honestly think we believe they were carrying chains into Twin Peaks?

Lol! but seriously,i think you guys are onto something. in the press conference,the police said "off duty" cops were already on the scene,and started shooting at the bikers as soon as the scuffle broke out. that does sound suspect. If all 9 were killed by cops then that's a tragedy.
