As many as 1,000 weapons were found at the Waco restaurant where nine bikers werekilled during a mass fight between rival motorcycle gangs, police said on Wednesday.

Investigators recovered items ranging from pocket knives to an AK-47 rifle, Waco police spokesman Sgt Patrick Swanton told the Guardian. Gang members rushed to get rid of their weapons, he said, as gunfire erupted and police moved in to the Twin Peaks restaurant in the south of the city last Sunday.

They were found “stuffed in toilets and hidden under seats,” he said. One firearm was discovered in a bag of tortilla chips, while a knife was located in a bag of flour. Brass knuckles, bats and chains were also unearthed.

Swanton said that the inside of Twin Peaks was a “pretty nasty scene” with “blood spatter everywhere”, especially in the bathroom.

Katie Rhoten told The Associated Press that her husband, a mechanic from Austin, called her from jail and said that he and two other members of a motorcycle club called Vise Grip ducked and ran for cover amid the violence that also left 18 injured.

The three were arrested along with about 170 others at the scene and are each being held on $1 million bonds.

Yes, plus they all most likely had previous records, and then you add attempted murder and ex-con in possession of a weapon and you're going to have a pretty hefty bail.
 
A thousand weapons and 170 arrests... That's an average of just under six weapons per person - I don't think they were out looking for trouble traveling that lightly. :rolleyes:
