Waco indeed Texas Bikers in deadly shoot-out at Waco restaurant Police in the US state of Texas say nine people have been killed and at least 100 arrested after a shootout between rival biker gangs in Waco. The incident happened at the Twin Peaks Sports Bar and Grill in a shopping area called the Central Texas Market Place. Police said eight had died at the scene and a ninth in hospital - all were bikers. At least 18 others were hurt. One witness quoted by the Waco Tribune-Herald said the car park of the restaurant resembled "a war zone". "There were maybe 30 guns being fired in the parking lot, maybe 100 rounds," Michelle Logan said. Diners at the Twin Peaks cafe said they and the staff had locked themselves in a freezer room for safety before being escorted off the premises by armed police. 'Dangerous and hostile'Waco police said the shooting happened shortly after midday when rival gangs got into a fight, apparently over parking space near the restaurant. Up to five gangs were involved. Police spokesman Sgt W Patrick Swanton said the fight started with punches and then escalated to chains, clubs, knives and finally firearms. Police sealed off the area around the Twin Peaks restaurant in WacoPolice stood guard near a group of bikers in the car park of the restaurant"This is probably one of the most gruesome crime scenes I've ever seen in my 34 years of law enforcement,'' he said. Police knew the meeting was going on, and officers moved in as soon as the shooting started. McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara later said all nine who were killed were members of the Bandidos or Cossacks gangs, according to the Associated Press news agency. "These are very dangerous hostile biker gangs," Sgt Swanton said. "A lot of innocent people could have been injured today." One witness said he and his family had just finished their lunch and walked into the car park when they heard gunshots. "We crouched down in front of our pick-up truck because that was the only cover we had," the witness - who asked not to be named - was quoted as saying. Sgt Swanton said there were concerns that groups involved in the shooting may have moved to other locations in and around Waco. Several nearby roads were closed, and police asked residents to avoid the area until an all-clear was issued. Waco police said no officers had been injured in the shooting.

So here I am minding my own business working at Old Trafford tonight for the Soccer Aid event when Teddy Sheringham decides to "polaxe" Gordon Ramsey and he goes down like a sack of spuds. Im too busy "oggling" Kirsty Gallagher from Sky TV in her lovely short blue dress with a zip right down the back together to listening to the three gorgeous Italian girls sat directly behind me speaking their "native" language. This combination was and probaly still is going to star in my dream tonight Alas the referee Howard Webb signalled to us that our stretcher services were needed and to be fair to Gordon he needed a "spinal board", oxygen and seemed in a lot of pain, He seemed in better spirits as the Ambulance arrived but he was taken to one of Manchester's most famous Hospitals as a precaution. The most funny thing I found was he did not "swear" once, quite amazing Im sure Gord is on the "piss" and been on the phone to his best mate David Beckham by now, cheers fella :drinks: http://www.mirror.co...the-heat-850413
