9 killed in Texas shootout

Texas police say 192 people are to face organised crime charges after the Waco bike-gang shooting, which left nine people dead and 18 others injured. The feud broke out between several gangs at a shopping district in Waco in Central Texas Market Place. What started as a fist fight, soon descended into a battle with knives, clubs, chains and eventually guns. Up to five rival gangs got into a fight, apparently over parking space near the restaurant. Diners and staff at the nearby cafe managed to lock themselves in a freezer room for safety and were later escorted off the premises by armed police. In addition to announcing the large number of arrests, Waco police department said on Monday they had temporarily closed the Twin Peaks restaurant for at least a week.
