***Officers said there were multiple types of weapons used, including guns, chains, knives, bats and clubs.***
***“There were maybe 30 guns being fired in the parking lot, maybe 100 rounds,” said Michelle Logan, 37, who was at Twin Peaks at the time of the shooting and said she knows some of the victims. “They just opened fire.”***
UPDATE, 4:00 p.m.(CDT): At least nine people are confirmed dead in a shooting around noon Sunday at Twin Peaks restaurant, said Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton. All of the fatalities are members of biker gangs. No patrons, servers or less enforcement officials were killed, Swanton said.
There is a very significant increase in law enforcement in McLennan County right now, Swanton said. Local, county, state and federal agencies are involved in investigations.
DPS and intelligence agents were working on the investigation long before today and Waco police have been aware of the inquest for more than a month, said Swanton.
Twin Peaks and Don Carlos were closed down after the shooting, and witnesses are being questioned on the scene and at the police department, according to the sergeant.
“The management wanted them here,” Swanton said of Twin Peaks officials. “Management knew that there were issues, and we were here, but they continued to let those groups of people into their business.”

There were at least three rival gangs on the scene when the shooting occurred, Swanton said.
At least 12 Waco officers, including a SWAT team, and other DPS troopers were at Twin Peaks or in the immediate area when the incident broke out.
Waco police officers moved in and did fire rounds during the incident, Swanton said, praising their quick response.

I’d bet management is not in a good mood today.
"I was in the can, man. When I came out it was all over."
(It is amazing how many hundred people can fit in a two stall restroom.)
I think I saw this movie before.
TP management refused to work with police before the event today.
See, this is what Jade Helm was meant to protect us from.

Ugh, haven’t double posted for at least 10 days.
Drug deal went wrong. Or they are all seriously gay.
“we are prepared to deal with those individuals if they come to Waco.”
Awesome statement,,,lol.
I have a leather jacket that I wear when riding my Harley in and around Waco...when it's below 45 degrees.
I know what you mean. It was fun at one point, but not this retarded outlaw culture has really taken root.. You see it everywhere that people try to go for that look.
Eet leeks luk vah haav a Mekheekan stendoff, no?
“Which gangs were these?”
Another thread reported Vaqueros, Scimitars and Cossacks.
Drudge had a picture with Cossacks.
Club names of the biker gangs???
never rode with colors or a gang ... tried the low profile route but being not afraid of life or danger, my younger days resembled the Younger’s or that is what many thought ... LOL .. was too innocent and watched from ‘what a burger’
"Center square.... Paul,why do Hells Angels wear leather jackets?"
"Because chiffon wrinkles".
No.. I think it safe to assume these were not RUBS...rich urban bikers. The vaquaros are a nasty bunch of dudes.
Bandittos and Cossacks.
Sgt. Swanton had harsh words for the Twin Peaks Management . “What happened today could have been avoided.”
I'm a little puzzled though, it looks as if the red/gold colors were shooting...the red/gold colors. Ya don't see that very often.
