+susieice Posted May 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2015 At least 9 are dead and more injured in a shootout between biker gangs Sunday afternoon in Waco, Texas. Police have the area cordoned off and were evacuating the mall where the restaurants are located. Reports are that more bikers are gathering at a local truck stop. The public is being asked to stay away from the area. http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/Waco-Shooting-Near-Twin-Peaks-In-Waco-304043711.html 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StRoostifer Posted May 17, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Not sure what to say about this. Anyone know more about the history behind the gangs? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KariW Posted May 17, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) I have no idea if this is true or not as this news story is just breaking: But it was reported there had been some minor conflicts between these gangs at this restaurant before, and that police were aware of the bad blood between the gangs.

.ZZ. Posted May 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Not sure what to say about this. Anyone know more about the history behind the gangs? I could guess, but until the facts are known I shouldn't speculate. My wife and I know that area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted May 17, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That is just crazy putting people's lives in danger like this. Glad only bikers were killed. I hope they don't have a repeat at the truck stop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw somewhere that the police had talked to the owners of this restaurant ( I think the name of it was Twin Peaks) because there were scuffles on a biker's night they hold there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard, police confiscated knives, chains, clubs, a veritable arsenal of weapons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the news channel we listen to, reported that the cops were on site before the shooting began. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+susieice Posted May 18, 2015 Author #19 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Philly news reported tonight that 5 different gangs were involved and that the police knew they were going to have this meeting there. They had talked to the restaurant owners, who refused to stop it from taking place. It supposedly started in a bathroom and moved through the restaurant into the parking lot. Something about recruitment of new members and territory from what I understood. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+susieice Posted May 18, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted May 18, 2015 News today said over 200 are in custody and reports are coming in that bikers from across the country are on their way in. Police don't think this is over yet. Hope people take care and listen to the authorities. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OverSword Posted May 18, 2015 #24 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Aw c'mon. Let the kids play. Who cares if they shoot each other they sound like they're pretty good shots and careful enough not to shoot uninvolved people. They're probably all really enthusiastic Son's of Anarchy fans.

Michelle Posted May 18, 2015 #25 Share Posted May 18, 2015 and some people still insist they are clubs, not gangs, Anyone who says that is an idiot. Yes, there are biker clubs and there most certainly are biker gangs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
