Authorities in Texas have charged 170 members of rival motorcycle gangs with engaging in organized crime following a shootout which left nine people dead. Waco Police Sergeant W. Patrick Swanton said biker groups made threats against law enforcement “throughout the night” after the shooting.

Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton: “At last count, we have 170 individuals that we have arrested and are booking or have been booked into the McLennan County Jail. Those individuals are being charged with engaging in organized crime in reference to the shooting at Twin Peaks, which is a capital murder. It’s a capital murder because of the number of victims that were killed in one episode here.”
