    9 dead, dozens injured in biker gang shooting at local restaurant

    WACO - Police have confirmed nine motorcycle gang members are dead as a result of a shooting between rival biker gangs in the parking lot outside Twin Peaks located in the Central Texas Marketplace in Waco.

    Police on scene confirm the shooting started about 12:15 p.m. Sunday afternoon and involved at least two biker gangs. The shooting reportedly started after an argument inside Twin Peaks escalated to the parking lot. Police say restaurant management had been aware that the gangs frequented their restaurant.

    There were nine fatalities and multiple injuries reported, but no word yet on the exact number of those injured or their condition. A witness on scene said she saw at least two bodies under sheets. No police officers were injured during the shooting. Police say all those injured were gang members. At least 18 gang members were taken to local hospitals, mostly with gunshot or stab wounds.

    Police have also been making arrests around Waco of suspected motorcycle gang members, and charging them with engaging in organized crime. Police say bikers from across the state could be flocking to Waco. They have upped presence even more in Waco and McLennan County.

    We're told police officers had been warned and were there as it unfolded. Some customers inside the local restaurants crawled into the freezer and hid.

    Multiple law enforcement agencies have been called to assist. Medical personnel from as far away as Limestone County are being called to the scene. Police recovered chains, knives, bats, clubs and firearms.

    Nearby restaurants Don Carlos and Twin Peaks were locked down for a time and later cleared. Police are not letting people into the area at this time because it is not safe. Police are closing the entire Central Texas Marketplace for safety reasons.

    What Biker Gangs Were Involved in the Waco, Texas Shootout?

    Police say at least 5 biker gangs were involved in a bloody shootout with each other and police in the parking lot of a Waco, Texas restaurant on Sunday that left at least 9 dead and 18 wounded.

    The biker gangs haven’t been publicly identified, but photos and video from the scene show the bikers “flying their colors.” Three gangs have been observed there, the Cossacks Motorcycle Club, the Scimitars Motorcycle Club and the Bandidos Motorcycle Club.

    Law enforcement sources told the Waco Tribune that the Cossacks and the Bandidos were at the center of the incident.

    Photos also show members of the Leatherheads, Veterans and Pirados, though it wasn’t immediately clear which, if any, of the other clubs they are affiliated with.

    The Scimitars
    could be seen among the Cossacks during the aftermath of the shooting.

    The rivalry between the Cossacks and the Bandidos in Texas goes back to at least 2013.

    According to the BigCountryHomePage.com, the president of the Abilene, Texas chapter of the Bandidos, Curtis Jack Lewis, was arrested in November 2013 on charges that he stabbed two members of the Cossacks during a fight outside a restaurant.

    The Waco police department’s spokesman, Sgt. Patrick Swanton, was clear about who the bikers are after a reporter said one of the bikers claimed that they are clubs, not gangs.

    “They are a biker gang. We know exactly who they are,” Swanton said at a televised news conference. “A bunch of criminal element biker members that came to Waco and tried to instill violence into our community and unfortunately did just that.”

    “This is not a bunch of doctors and dentists and lawyers riding Harleys,” he said. “These are criminals on Harley-Davidsons.”

    Police said there were at least 100 bikers at the scene and at least five gangs involved. Swanton said the argument started over a parking issue.

    More than 100 weapons were recovered at the scene.

    The restaurant, Twin Peaks, had been known as a hot spot for bikers, and police had asked for help in controlling the issue, but said the restaurant’s local management was cooperative.

    A stand off quickly escalated into a full blown shoot out in Waco, Texas? I know we're having 90's nostalgia but this is ridiculous.

    Deadly Waco biker gang shooting: 192 people booked into jail

    WACO, Texas (KXAN) — Some 192 people have been arrested and charged with engaging in organized crime in connection to the deadly shooting that broke out between five biker gangs at a Twin Peaks in Waco. Under a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission mandate, the restaurant is shut down for the next seven days as the investigation continues early Monday morning into the shooting that left nine people dead and at least 18 people injured — an investigation that has included biker gang death threats made against uniformed officers.


    “Threats have been made to kill our uniformed officers,” said Waco Police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton early Monday morning, who added that the people arrested could be looking at capital murder charges. “This was a true gang fight.”

    Swanton said local, state and federal officers are prepared if the biker gangs decide to act on those threats. Meanwhile, authorities continue to comb through evidence that spans a Central Texas shopping center, much of which is closed Monday morning due to the amount of evidence they have to go through. Some 50 weapons — including knives, brass knuckles, chains and clubs — have been recovered from the scene so far.

    It started with a fist fight in the bathroom of the restaurant near the intersection of Interstate 35 and State Highway 6 Sunday afternoon in Waco. It spilled into the bar, where it quickly escalated into knife fight — and then out into the parking lot where a gun battle raged between five different biker gangs and heavily armed police.

    Waco police are questioning hundreds of people.

    “In 34 years of law enforcement, this is the most violent crime scene I have ever been involved in,” Swanton said. “There is blood everywhere.”

    The altercation between biker gangs began just as churchgoers arrived at the Central Texas Marketplace for Sunday Lunch.

    Waco police were already on scene when the violence broke out. Officers say bikers were attacking one another with chains, knives, bats, clubs, and firearms.

    “These are officers that ran into gunfire to protect our citizens, and they — without a doubt — did a hell of a job doing that yesterday, and we’re very proud of them. And again, we think that saved numerous lives,” said Swanton.

    It is still unclear if those killed and injured were hit by police gunfire or gunfire from the bikers involved.

    “What I want you all to understand: This is not a bunch of doctors and dentists and lawyers riding Harleys,” said Swanton on Sunday afternoon. “These are criminals on Harley-Davidsons that are members of a criminal biker gang, and we know who they are. We know which clubs that they’re with.”

    Meanwhile, the shopping center is shut down from Cabela’s to Best Buy. The shopping center is open for business starting from Kohl’s.

    Could it have been prevented?


    “What happened here today could have been avoided,” Swanton told the media during a news conference. He went on to say that police alerted the restaurant to the threat of violence and that the manager was asked to discontinue ‘bike night.'”‘

    Jay Patel, operating partner of the Twin Peaks Waco franchise, offered up a statement on Facebook.

    “We are horrified by the criminal, violent acts that occurred outside of our Waco restaurant today. We share in the community’s trauma. Our priority is to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for our customers and employees, and we consider the police our partners in doing so. Our management team has had ongoing and positive communications with the police, and we will continue to work with them as we all want to keep violent crime out of our businesses and community. We will continue to cooperate with the police as they investigate this terrible crime.”
    Swanton doesn’t agree.

    “We feel like they could’ve done more. We feel like that they did not take our advice and try to keep the bike groups from being here,” said Swanton on Sunday after the shooting. “They absolutely have a right to refuse service to people that may be a harm to their patrons and employees. They didn’t do that, and today is the ultimate aftermath of what their decision was.”

    No bystanders were hurt, despite another packed restaurant just 25 feet from the gun battle.

    As bikers from across the state began to pour into town Sunday afternoon, Waco police decided to close the mall where the restaurant is located.

    While five different gangs are believed to be involved in the fight, officers on scene said it appeared some of the gangs appeared to be in alliance with one another.

    Why Waco?


    Waco’s proximity to Austin and Dallas, by way of Interstate 35 and less-traveled highways, has made it a popular destination for bikers since the 1970s. The city has several biker bars on the outskirts bearing signs barring gang members from wearing “colors” inside.

    Investigators in Waco say the gangs involved in Sunday’s violence were apparently in town in effort to recruit new members.

    Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo stance


    Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo is jumping into the conversation. He posted the following on Twitter Sunday night:

    “Waco today was textbook example of societal problem & illustrates need to give law enforcement tools to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.”

    That's what I've always said. Darwinism at it finest. What do you call nine dead biker gang members......? A damn good start.

    How the Bandidos became one of the world’s most feared biker gangs


    The Bandidos motorcycle gang has a saying: “Cut one, we all bleed.”

    It’s not clear who started the cutting, but there was plenty of bloodshed on Sunday when the Bandidos brutally clashed with members of several other bike gangs at a restaurant in Waco, Tex. A wild shootout in broad daylight left nine bikers dead, 18 wounded and at least 165 under arrest.

    The confrontation began about noon at a Twin Peaks restaurant in a shopping center and quickly escalated from fisticuffs to all-out war, said Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton, a police spokesman. At one point, as many as 30 gang members were shooting at one another in the restaurant’s parking lot. Police found more than 100 weapons and scores of shell casings.

    The shootout is the latest and perhaps goriest chapter in a long history of violence involving motorcycle gangs in the United States. The Bandidos, like their more popularly known archrivals the Hells Angels, are frequent characters in that blood-soaked book. The group is generally considered the world’s second-largest biker gang, behind the Angels, with as many as 2,500 members in 13 countries, according to the Department of Justice.

    The Bandidos’ story charts the rise of biker gangs from counterculture clubs to fearsome organized crime organizations and helps to explain why tragedy struck on Sunday in a city already associated with spectacular violence.

    Nowadays, if Americans know anything about motorcycle gangs, it’s probably thanks to Hunter S. Thompson or the hit television show “Sons of Anarchy.” But long before Thompson’s 1966 book “Hell’s Angels,” bike gangs were on the rise in the United States.

    American bike gangs took root after World War II, when thousands of young, disaffected, often war-traumatized men returned to a country they didn’t recognize. Many rejected it. “The end of World War II saw young men returning from combat in droves,” William L. Dulaney wrote in 2005 in the International Journal of Motorcycle Studies. “Many found the transition back to a peaceful civilian life a more monotonous chore than they could handle. Some combat vets were trained in riding motorcycles, specifically Harleys and Indians, while serving overseas.”

    “Returning veterans used their severance pay to buy motorcycles and party in taverns,” writes James F. Quinn, a professor at the University of North Texas who has studied motorcycle gangs. “Thrill-seeking attracted some returning veterans to choose a saloon society lifestyle centered around motorcycles. Positive views of military experiences, and the intense camaraderie they bred, also made such a lifestyle attractive. In some cases, combat roles became master statuses for veterans who could not tolerate military discipline but linked their self-image to the small-group camaraderie and risk-taking of military service. Conventional activities offered no acceptable alternatives and these men were threatened with a loss of identity, companionship, and security as military involvement ceased.”

    There were signs of trouble even before there were any official bike gangs. On Fourth of July weekend in 1947, around 4,000 motorcyclists flooded the small town of Hollister, Calif., causing havoc. The Hells Angels were founded around a year later.

    Thompson’s 1966 profile of the Angels came just as they were expanding across the country, stirring dramatic reactions.

    “They call themselves Hell’s Angels,” began a 1965 magazine article quoted in Thompson’s book. “They ride, rape and raid like marauding cavalry — and they boast that no police force can break up their criminal motorcycle fraternity.”

    “We’re the one percenters, man — the ones who don’t fit and don’t care,” an Angel told Thompson. “So don’t talk to me about your doctor bills and your traffic warrants — I mean you get your woman and your bike and your banjo and I mean you’re on your way. We’ve punched our way out of a hundred rumbles, stayed alive with our boots and our fists. We’re royalty among motorcycle outlaws, baby.”

    The Hells Angels might have been first, but they were far from the only ones. Scores more motorcycle gangs sprung up across the United States. Many if not all of them sought to tap into the American outlaw archetype, as reflected in their rebellious names: the Outlaws, the Pagans, the Warlocks, the Mongols and the Bandidos.

    The Bandidos began almost 20 years after the Hells Angels, but the two gangs soon became bitter rivals. According to the motorcycle club’s legend, founder Donald Chambers was bored with other bike clubs. “Chambers started the Bandidos in March 1966, when he was 36 years old and working on the ship docks in Houston,” Skip Hollandsworth wrote in a 2007 profile of the gang. “He told his friends that he was naming his club the Bandidos, in honor of the Mexican bandits who refused to live by anyone’s rules but their own, and he began recruiting his first members not only out of Houston but also out of the biker bars in Corpus Christi, Galveston, and San Antonio.”

    “Don wasn’t looking for people who fit into what he called ‘polite society,'” one of the group’s first members told Hollandsworth. “He wanted the badass bikers who cared about nothing except riding full time on their Harley-Davidsons. He wanted bikers who lived only for the open road. No rules, no bull—-, just the open road.”

    But as both the Hells Angels and the Bandidos expanded, they grew from free-wheeling counterculture clubs into ruthless organized crime syndicates, according to academics who study the groups and prosecutors who pursue them in court. “The desire to dominate rivals temporarily decreased the power of the subculture’s core values among many clubs while increasing their reliance on organized criminal activities,” Quinn writes. “As the extremes of violence used in internecine warfare escalated, however, these activities could no longer be concealed by the milieu’s code of silence. It was only at this point that law enforcement agencies finally began to take these clubs seriously.”

    “By the late 1970s local police and federal investigations began to expose the involvement of many 1% [motorcycle clubs] in drug trafŽficking, theft, extortion, and prostitution rings,” Quinn writes. Chambers was caught in 1972, when he and two other

    Bandidos were arrested for killing two drug dealers in El Paso. “The police said that before killing the dealers, Chambers had made them dig their own graves,” Hollandsworth writes. “Then Chambers and the other Bandidos had set their bodies on fire before burying them.” Chambers was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences.

    The arrest and incarceration of bike gang leaders in the ’70s led to what Quinn calls a “retrenchment,” during which a second generation of leaders dialed back the violence and focused on turning bigger profits through better operating drug and other criminal rackets.

    But the past three decades have been shot through with sporadic bike gang battles, often overseas. By the 1980s, both the Bandidos and the Hells Angels had become international organizations. In 1984, a shootout between Bandidos and another gang called the Comancheros killed seven and wounded 28 in Milperra, Australia, near Sydney. The incident became known as the “Milperra Massacre.”

    In the mid-1990s, a “Great Nordic Biker War” between the Bandidos and the Hells Angels shook Scandinavia. At least 12 people died and nearly 100 were injured in the three-year skirmish, which featured unprecedented firepower for a gangland rivalry.

    “These hostilities have involved military ordinance as well as automatic weapons,” Quinn writes. “At one point the Angels launched a grenade at a jail holding an enemy leader.”

    The two bike gangs faced off again in Canada during the late 1990s and 2000s. This time, the conflict — dubbed “The Quebec Biker war” — reportedly cost 150 lives. The conflict largely ended in April 2006, when authorities found eight Bandidos members dead in a farmer’s field near Toronto. In 2009, an ex-cop on trial for the assassinations accused Bandidos world president Jeff Pike of ordering the killings. The ex-cop and five others were convicted of the crime. Pike denied the accusation and was never charged.

    “I’m just a clean-cut American guy who loves riding his motorcycle,” Pike told Hollandsworth. “You’d be surprised. I’m almost always in bed by 10 p.m.” The Bandidos did not immediately return a request for comment for this article.

    But Steve Cook says the clean-cut, fun-loving claim is a charade. Cook is a Kansas City-area police officer who says he’s worked undercover in gangs affiliated with the Bandidos.

    “These guys are organized crime, but they are also domestic terrorists,” he told The Washington Post. “These guys are heavily involved in methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, motorcycle theft. Those are all primary businesses for them. The thing is, these guys want to put on this appearance, ‘Oh we’re just motorcycle enthusiasts and we just like to ride bikes.’ The evidence is quite to the contrary.”

    Cook claims that most Americans, including many police, don’t take bike gangs seriously enough because “people have allowed themselves to be too romanticized” by the idea of bikers as modern-day bandits.

    “They watch their ‘Sons of Anarchy’ and their little television shows. These guys all seem likable enough: that they are misunderstood, outlaws from the old days, and they ride motorcycles instead of horses,” he said.

    “Even cops think, ‘Oh they are just tattooed long haired guys who like to ride motorcycles.’ And the reality of it is they are long-haired tattooed guys who ride motorcycles and sell a hell of a lot of methamphetamine and murder people and steal motorcycles and extort people and beat people up in bars for no reasons.”

    In fact, Cook says that Sunday’s shootout closely parallels previous battles between the Bandidos and Hells Angels. Citing police sources in Waco, Cook says he understands the shootout started because a smaller gang called the Cossacks — backed by the Angels — challenged the Bandidos for control of Texas. Several other bike gangs might have joined the battle, too, angry over recent killings by Bandidos members.

    “My perception is that the Cossacks have been flirting, if you will, with Hell’s Angles,” Cook said. “If I’m a Bandido, my immediate reaction is: ‘These guys are going to try to make a move and bring an international gang into our state, which is going to cause a war.'”

    One way or another, war did come to Waco on Sunday. Customers at Twin Peaks — a restaurant chain known for its scantily clad waitresses — ducked behind tables, chairs and cars as bikers unleashed volleys of gunfire at one another. Photos of the crime scene show bodies covered by yellow tarps, surrounded by a sea of shining motorcycles.

    “The Bandidos already knew that the Cossacks weren’t going to play ball, and when push came to shove and these guys weren’t cooperating, all hell broke loose,” said Cook, who in addition to being a police officer, runs a group called the Midwest Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Investigators Association, which is devoted to combating biker gangs “from the inside.” He said he knew tensions were running high between the gangs and, for that reason, had scheduled an event in Waco next month. “You can tell by the number of weapons involved that these guys came looking for a fight. They were prepared.”

    Cook said he hopes the shooting draws more attention to bike gangs and dispels the myths around them.

    “Maybe it’ll be time for law enforcement and the public to take the blinders off and recognize these groups for what they are,” he said. “Criminals.”

    Police: Deadly Waco biker gang shooting is capital murder


    WACO, Texas (KXAN) — At last count, 170 people have been arrested and are in the process of being booked and charged with engaging in organized crime in connection to the deadly shooting that broke out between five biker gangs at a Twin Peaks in Waco. Police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton says this shooting is now considered a capital murder case “because of the number of people killed in one episode.”

    Swanton says the details of the charges are still being worked out, but everyone is in the process of being booked on charges of engaging in organized crime. That organized crime is capital murder, said Swanton.

    “That’s a pretty severe charge — engaging in organized crime in reference to nine individuals killed. It doesn’t get much more significant than that,” said Swanton. “There may be warrants on individuals that may be attached to that as well, but that’s a pretty serious charge.”

    Some 18 Waco police officers and four Texas Department of Public Safety officers were involved in the gunfight in a matter of seconds, according to Swanton. Off-duty officers even responded to the incident. He also added that they are in the process of going through “every blood spot” and “every body” involved in the shootout that spanned a large area.

    Under a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission mandate, the restaurant shut down its alcohol sales for the next seven days as the investigation continues into the shooting that left nine people dead and at least 18 people injured — an investigation that has included biker gang death threats made against uniformed officers. The restaurant’s corporate officials later said they were immediately revoking its franchise agreement, and Waco police are urging the restaurant to remain closed entirely — at least for the next week — out of respect for the incident.
