Swanton said authorities had received threats against law enforcement "throughout the night" from biker groups and stood ready to confront any more violence. Authorities were having them towed from the scene, 95 miles south of Dallas. More than 100 motorcycles were in the parking lots around the restaurant Monday, along with an additional 50 to 75 vehicles that probably belong to gang members, Swanton said. Many men detained in the hours after the shooting were seen wearing leather vests that read Bandidos or Cossacks. "I am not about to give them the respect of mentioning their names," Swanton said. Howver, Swanton has repeatedly declined to identify which gangs were involved in a fight that began with punches then grew to include chains, knives and then guns. McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara, whose office is involved in the investigation, said the nine dead were members of the Bandidos and Cossacks. Police and the restaurant operators were aware of Sunday's meeting in advance, and 18 Waco officers in addition to state troopers were outside the restaurant when the fight began, Swanton said. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission on Monday issued a seven-day suspension of the restaurant's liquor license, but owners had the option of reopening to serve meals. Twin Peaks - a national chain that features waitresses in revealing uniforms - on Monday revoked the franchise rights to the restaurant, which opened in August.Ĭompany spokesman Rick Van Warner said in a statement that the management team chose to ignore warnings and advice from the company, and did not establish the "high security standards" that the company requires. The Waco police department says there have been multiple injuries and fatalities in a shooting at a restaurant.
