Police Release Surveillance Video of Twin Peaks Shootout

Police Release Surveillance Video of Twin Peaks Shootout

Footage from the May shootout at the Waco, Texas Twin Peaks that left nine biker-gang members dead was release by police showing video from inside the bar-restaurant and patio area.

On May 17, 2015, a fight broke out between two rival biker clubs, the Bandidos and the Cossacks. The footage shows biker-gang members on the patio looking out onto the gruesome scene. Most try to flee from the strike of a shanked bullet while others pull their own weapons, ready to defend themselves if need be.

The video also shows scenes from inside the restaurant as employees take cover behind the bar and patrons duck for cover under tables.

Perhaps one of the most jarring things about the video is watching a biker running onto the restaurant patio shooting his gun outwards towards the parking lot or another member of a biker-gang run through the patio area splattered with blood.  

Despite the 177 arrests following the shootout in May involving the Cossacks and Bandidos, not a single person has yet to be charged in the fatal incident. A grand jury is hearing the case, indictments are imminent.
