WACO: (May 17, 2015) Waco police Sunday afternoon, assisted by Hewitt officers 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.

The fight broke out just after noon when two rival gangs got into a fight that erupted into gun fire.

Police at the scene have confirmed multiple fatalities at the restaurant, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.

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.

A witness who was having lunch across the parking lot at Don Carlos Mexican Resaturant 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.

"We have multiple victims," Swanton said.

He 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.

Friends in the area are saying there are a good bit of dead and injured. At least 9 dead.

I have family in Waco. I love when the media calls them motorcycle gangs. They hate that, especially the Cossaks. They've proven time after time they are nothing but gang banging thugs. I hope they catch all involved.

Also, there are bikers, and there are bikers

People shot at each other. In Texas. Is it Sunday already?

Texans shot and HIT each other, this is what makes it newsworthy. Average persons aim makes Cobra look like snipers.

Of course there are PITAIBs*, but that's a natural side effect of tons of guns in the hands of idiots.

Where do you think this is? Up North? You've got to remember the shooting at the "draw mohammad' contest where an officer with a pistol killed the two guys with bullet proof vests and AK-47's right?

Someone trained to shoot the weapon and shoot to kill did it. Not your average jack off.

This is Texas there are plenty of people who train with there guns instead of just buying them, putting them in a safe and hoping they never have to use them.
