Surveillance video from Waco, Texas, shows the shootout between police and biker clubs that ended with nine dead and 177 arrested in May. ||||| As the case against more than 100 bikers allegedly involved in a deadly gunfight in Waco, Texas, moves forward, a series of videos, apparently leaked from the case file, are giving a terrifying new look at the violent brawl that had both suspected gang members and innocent bystanders ducking for cover. 
 
 On May 17, members of as many as five rival biker gangs gathered at the Twin Peaks Restaurant to discuss their differences, Waco police said at the time. 
 
 A fistfight that erupted quickly, escalating to include knives and firearms, then spilled into the parking lot in the Central Texas Market Place, where gang members began firing at each other. Nine suspected gang members were killed and 18 people were hospitalized mostly for gunshot and stab wounds, police said. 
 
 In one video, the gunfire erupts just off camera. Some bikers can be seen grabbing guns while others hit the floor and crawl to safety. One surveillance camera catches a biker firing a shot toward the parking lot as he runs inside the restaurant. 
 
 The videos also show terrified Twin Peaks restaurant workers running for cover. Minutes later, the video shows a parade of bikers surrendering with their hands up. 
 
 Officers were already at the scene when the shooting started, authorities said at the time, and responded within 30 to 45 seconds. Some officers returned fire at the bikers. No officers were injured, police said. Police said that once the restaurant was cleared, they found hundreds of weapons -- from guns to batons and knives -- hidden in sacks of flour, bags of tortilla chips and tucked beneath benches. 
 
 The videos, which were obtained by CNN, appear to be part of the evidence against the more than 170 bikers arrested that day. Waco police said today that they had not released the surveillance video. 
 
 The grand jury in Waco is currently hearing all the cases against the bikers. Police and prosecutors said they worried that the video leak could affect the outcome. ||||| Surveillance video acquired Thursday by NBC 5 shows the shootout that left nine people dead and injured 18 at a Waco Twin Peaks restaurant in May.

 Surveillance video acquired Thursday by NBC DFW shows the bloody shootout between biker clubs and Waco police officers that left nine people dead and injured 18 at a Waco Twin Peaks restaurant in May. 
 
 The video, which has no audio, shows members of the Cossacks Motorcycle Club gathering on the patio as several men begin fighting in the parking lot. It was previously reported that a member of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club drove over the foot of a rival club member, quickly escalating tensions at the gathering. 
 
 Moments later, while most people on the patio begin to clear out, others pull out firearms and choose to stand their ground. In the chaos, a man can be seen running from the parking lot onto the far side of the patio while indiscriminately firing a gun behind him. 
 
 A short time later, a man with a bloody face and chest can be seen running from the patio, desperately searching for cover, while others crawled to safety.

 NBC 5 previously reported the Bandidos were upset at the Cossacks for wearing a Texas insignia on their jackets and planned a meeting with other biker groups in Waco, police said. The Cossacks, who threatened that Waco was their town, were reportedly not invited to the gathering but showed up anyway, taking over parts of the Twin Peaks restaurant and lining the parking lot with lookouts. 
 
 The Associated Press said the video and photographs were included in the same cache of evidence reviewed by the AP and described in a story published Sept. 18. The AP chose not to distribute the footage. 
 
 The surveillance video was first published Thursday by CNN and credited to the Waco Police Department. The Waco Police Department, however, told NBC 5 Thursday they remain under a gag order and did not release the surveillance video to anyone in the media. 
 
 Authorities told NBC News that whoever made the video clip public could be "subject to ethical and legal issues." 
 
 Earlier this summer the Bandidos Motorcycle Club demanded Waco police release dashcam and surveillance video of the shootout, along with autopsy reports for those killed in the bloody melee.

 Lawyers for the biker clubs, who have copies of the video for trial purposes, also said they did not release the video. 
 
 After the shootout, Waco police officers recovered 480 weapons and detained 239 people. Of those detained, 177 were arrested and held on $1 million bond, accused of engaging in organized criminal activity. 
 
 Lawsuits filed on behalf of some of the club members are ongoing — none of the 177 arrested were ever indicted. Meanwhile, a grand jury was set earlier this month to consider the cases of those arrested. 
 
 "I think the Waco police went wrong when there was the mass arrest," said Dallas attorney Susan Anderson represents one of the 177 people arrested that day. 
 
 Anderson said she wanted to make one thing clear – that many of the bikers at the restaurant had nothing to do with the shooting. 
 
 "You have to have just cause in order to arrest, not 'just [because],'" said Anderson. "And it seems there was a lot of 'just [because]' going on at Twin Peaks that day. They arrested just [because] they were there."
– Five months after nine people were killed and 18 were injured in a shootout between rival biker gangs and police in Waco, Texas, leaked surveillance video released by CNN—and previously described by the AP—shows the chaos at the scene. Members of the Cossacks Motorcycle Club are seen gathering on the patio of the Waco Twin Peaks restaurant; a fight involving some men from the Bandidos Motorcycle Club begins in the parking lot, according to NBC Dallas Forth-Worth. Suddenly, the patio begins to empty. One man can be seen pulling a gun and aiming it toward the parking lot. Another is seen running onto the patio while firing a gun behind him. Bikers are shown dragging the body of one man onto the patio; another biker is seen leaving the patio with his face and chest covered in blood. Lawyers for both biker clubs say they did not release the video to the media. The Waco Police Department likewise denies doing so, saying it remains under a gag order. The individuals who made the video public could be "subject to ethical and legal issues," the department says, while police and prosecutors tell ABC News that the leak could affect the pending cases. Waco police detained 239 people in the aftermath of the shooting. Of those, 177 were arrested on charges of engaging in organized criminal activity, though none were ever indicted. A grand jury is now considering their cases.
