Waco Biker Shootout Follow-Up

Posted on May 18, 2015 by Lawrence Person

A few more details have come to light about the Waco biker gang fight that left nine people dead:

  • Evidently the “clash was reportedly sparked over a parking spot.”
  • At least 192 people are facing organized crime charges.
  • Evidently that particular Twin Peaks was a known recruitment spot for biker gangs. Waco police had known about the meeting between the Cossacks and Bandidos, asked for help from restaurant management, and been refused.
  • Twin Peaks corporate “is ‘seriously considering revoking’ the Waco location’s franchise agreement.”
  • “A McLennan County official said the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has revoked Twin Peaks’ alcohol license for seven days while the investigation continues.”
  • “Police on Sunday afternoon received reports that possibly hundreds of members of the biker gangs from around the state were headed to Waco.”
  • Vox provides some not entirely useless context.
