WACO, Texas (AP) -- A shooting involving rival biker gangs at a Central Texas restaurant has left nine people dead and some others injured.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton says eight people died at the scene of the shooting at Twin Peaks restaurant about noon Sunday and another person died at a hospital.
Swanton says the fight began with punches and then escalated to knives and firearms. It's not immediately clear if bystanders are among the dead.
The severity of injuries to others was not immediately known.
He says police were aware that gang members were gathering at the restaurant and officers were present when shots began.
Some of the officers fired on bikers as the shooting spilled from the restaurant into a busy parking lot. Patrons and bystanders dove for cover.

Life must be damn pitiful for someone that wants to join a motorcycle gang.

Good riddance. There's bike clubs that are OK, but biker gangs are nothing but cowards and organized crime. 9 we won't worry about. Probably at least that many going to jail over it...

I'm not surprised it happened at Twin Peaks. I watched UFC there a few times and it was filled with gang members and several cops who were paid to hang out.

That kind of place should have many cameras, it'll be an interesting video to watch. Bikers shooting rivals, cops already on the scene shooting at bikers, real old west stuff.
I hope none of the peaks got injured.

Bandidos MC and Cossacks MC, Waco police said that a third gang was possibly involved.

Bike gangs, street gangs, drug cartels, all are predatory scum that are glorified by the ignorant.
Crypts and bloods have their rappers, white trash worship Sons of Anarchy.
Decent people need to ostracize these animals and make it impossible to profit from emulation of their lifestyle.
Those that adopt the "biker" look and style are pathetic.
Anyone going to Sturgis?

Fox reported that the bikers shot at cops too. Maybe all of the dead were not shot by bikers? Cops could have notched their guns too.
At least 18 injured with knife and gunshot wounds.

Sounds to me like several LEO had arrived just before it started in anticipation of a fight.
I'm betting that LEO on scene already had their AR-15's and Riot Guns out of their squad cars. Sounds like the bad guys lost.
