Nine people are dead after gunfire erupted between rival biker gangs at a Waco, Texas restaurant, police say.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton told KWTX-TV that in addition to the dead, multiple people were wounded in the shooting just after noon Sunday at the Twin Peaks restaurant, adjacent to Interstate 35.
It’s unknown whether bystanders at Twin Peaks restaurant were among the dead.
Swanton said authorities are concerned that gang members are moving to other parts of the city to continue the confrontation elsewhere.
McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna told KWTX earlier this month that law enforcement was aware of simmering conflicts between gangs that gathered at the restaurant.
