Nine people have been killed and 18 hospitalized in a shoot-out between rival biker gangs at a recruitment event in a suburban Texas restaurant.
What started as a physical fight in the bathroom spilled out into the bar and rapidly escalated to involve chains, clubs, knives and gunfire across Twin Peaks Bar and Grill in a quiet strip of Waco on Sunday afternoon.
Diners, including young children, scrambled and many took shelter in the freezer as hundreds of gang members ran rampage around the booths, according to KXXV.
The fight spilled into the parking lot where a SWAT team shot dead at least one biker and surrounded the rest. When the shooting ended bodies were scattered across the tarmac and cars were riddled with bullet holes.
Though the groups are now being held by deputies at gunpoint, police warned armed individuals are flocking from all over the state to continue confrontation.
Waco police Sgt W Patrick Swanton told a press conference the recruitment event was hosted by the so-called restaurant - but despite police fears of a conflict, management refused to let officers in to monitor the situation.
