Motorcycle club war in Texas Kalena Rodriguez Period 5

A huge massacre broke out at a Twin Peaks in Waco, Texas on Sunday, May 17th. About 170 people were arrested at the scene and over 55 mugshots have been released. biker gangs often like to "settle the score" themselves. a huge fight between two rival gangs, the Bandidos and the Cossacks was blown up in traumatic proportions. the fight that broke out quickly escalated from fists to guns and nine people were killed. All victims were bikers and no civilians were hurt in the situation. eight people were hospitalized. although four different biker clubs were involved in this shoot out, the main beef was between the two primary clubs mentioned before.

this news hit me hard because i was on my way back home from Kileen, Tx and was passing through
Waco exactly ten minutes after police arrived at the scene. i had a look for myself from the highway a couple hundred feet away from the Twin Peaks and caught glimpses of the scene.

  1. I'm so sorry that you became close to this action. This reminds me of all the protests I have been seeing on the news lately of violence spurring between different types of people. We really aren't all that different, gangs or not, and really need to start banding together.
