TEXAS – The video shows the scene inside the Twin Peaks restaurant in May just before the violent shootout that killed 9 people and ended up in the mass arrests of 177 bikers.

A fight and shootout erupts just off camera between a group of motorcycle clubs called the Bandidos and the Cossacks.

The reaction tells the story of the chaos and horrific scene that unfolds as the gunshots start exploding.

Members of the Cossacks Club are sitting on this patio as they duck for cover. Some grab firearms and other weapons.

Dozens of bikers rush inside the building and hide in bathrooms and the restaurant kitchen.

John Wilson is the president of the Waco, Texas area chapter of the Cossacks Motorcycle Club, and he was on the Twin Peaks patio that day.

“The whole incident didn’t last more than 90 seconds, it seemed like an hour,” said Wilson. “When you are laying there and people are getting shot around you and bullets are whizzing by you.”

In dozens of police interviews Cossack and Bandido bike club members blame their rivals for starting the deadly melee.

After it was all over, crime scene photos captured the nightmarish scene with bodies left in the parking lot by toppled motorcycles.

Hundreds of weapons were all over the place, even handguns even left hidden in the restaurant toilets.

CNN has obtained more than 2,000 pages of documents, crime scene photos–many too graphic to show–and surveillance video giving us the most detailed accounts of what unfolded last May.

Waco police and prosecutors have consistently defended the mass arrests of 177 bikers that day, all charged with “organized criminal activity.”

“I think you can see from the number of weapons that we have recovered from here today, they didn’t come here to eat and have a good time with their family,” said Patrick Swanton of the Waco Police Department. “They came here for a reason and we think part of that reason was criminal activity.”  (read more)
