justify what happened. >> reporter: and what was that mission? >> i know without a doubt they were there to confront us. >> reporter: the person assigned to guard the cossacks bikes in the lot is caught in the middle. >> squabbling or what not about them blocking the bikes in. >> reporter: that's pierce talking to investigators. >> when that happened, everybody rushed over there from both clubs. it wasn't really a fight at that point. it was just some shouting back and forth, verbal altercation. >> reporter: as the shouting match quickly escalates, you see carazel in the middle. he says a cossacks threw the first punch. >> it happened so quick i didn't have time to take my gloves or

helmet off. >> reporter: first fists flying, then far worse. >> i remember yelling for my dad because i knew he was there somewhere. i've never been that scared in my life. >> reporter: carazel is taken to the ground. he's in an all out brawl with several cossacks. he doesn't know it then but there's a biker emerging from the cay us pointing a gun and looking for a target. burt suddenly his head snaps back and he drops to the ground. >> i hear the shots going off, whizzing by me. i had guys all overme. i had one i had taken on the ground and i was using him to block me from the rest of them. >> reporter: he stumbles and looks for cover as another biker takes aim.

>> you actually see four plumes of smoke come from him and he's pointed right at you. and then you fall to the ground. you didn't get hit? >> no. it looks like a cop may have taken him out. >> reporter: after he fired four times. >> wow. >> reporter: one biker brazenly runs across the patio, shooting wildly. terrified waitresses and customers run for cover. this twin peeks waitress didn't want to be seen on camera. >> screaming and take off running to the back. >> reporter: she and others reach a walk-in refrigerator and call for help. >> we actually had the racks in front of the door to barricade ourselves. >> it was a lot of carnage.

>> reporter: did you get on the ground too? >> i didn't have a choice. i got shot. i seen the person that shot me. >> reporter: you did? >> i don't want to get into that right now. >> i remember seeing my dwhen he's covered in blood. he was shot in the back. they got the bullet out and he's doing all right. >> reporter: but dozens of rther lives are hanging in the balance. when we return, the unthinkable. watching your friend die right in front of you. >> he bled to death. i would have to thank proper medical attention and i could have saved his life. make a sta. make sure it's an intelligent one. ♪ the all-new audi a4, with available virtual cockpit. ♪ the bud light party believes in change.

cossacks, bandidos. angry, dangerous. and bitter enemies. months of rage and violence have led to this moment, an all out battle in the parking lots of a favorite biker hangout. hundreds of bullets have been fired as armed police officers are nearby watching. dozens are down. wounded or dead. and the bloody clash shows no

signs of stopping. >> there would be a pause in the gun shots and then you'd hear a few more go off. >> reporter: seconds into the show down, surveillance video shows this biker running from the twin peeks patio covered in blood. >> it was pretty horrific. there were guys getting hit, falling and i realize that i needed to get away from where i was. >> reporter: biker john wilson did get away. you can see him here inside twin peeks ducking for cover. but this man seen in the red ban dannau was not as lucky. he hits another biker in the throat with what looks like a chain. they wrestled to the ground, then he's struck several times in the head. he's stomped on at least once and looks to get shot by a biker. the men he was fighting walk away. then another fight breaks out.

scene i have dealt with. >> reporter: dead bikers on top of toppled harleys and others cling to life nearby, like kirschner. >> it turned out he was shot in the but ux and legs. i started asking the police to please bring the ambulance in. i was told the area wasn't secure yet. three of the dead were still alive 30 minutes afterwards. it was shocking and disturbing to me. >> reporter: so, you think there was a chance to save them? >> sure. we'll never know. but he bled to death. >> reporter: the waco police department declined our request for an interview and wouldn't comment on the timing of aid, siting a gag order. but former atf agent matt hors says the officers responded correctly. >> this is ultimately an active

shooter situation because we don't know which one of the bad guys have guns. so we don't put our attention to the injured, often times, we put it towards the tlelhreats and t danger. >> reporter: police find weapons stuffed between bags of flour and tossed on the floor of the restaurant. eerily inside the bathroom, you can still hear the country music blaring as an investigator films the aftermath. blood spilling out on to the sink and floor. as the officer moves into the stalls, he discovers handguns tossed in the toilet. police discover a staggering 808 weapons, knives, brass knuckle said, chains, batons, hammers, even a machete and tomahawks. >> i think you can see by the number of weapons we've

we had wounded inside. we had people stabbed. we had people shot and we had people beat. >> reporter: the carnage tells the story of one of the goriest tales in biker history. s.w.a.t. teams move inside twin

peeks to round up the bikers. >> they were hollering at everybody to get down, hollering their commands, which we did. >> reporter: one of the first waco cops on the scene describes it liter in his police report. i asked anybody who had a gun to raise their hand. at the time it appeared that nearly everybody in the crowd raised their hand. >> they got us to put our hands on top of our head and walked us out of the building. >> reporter: you can see a parade of bikers and customers leaving the restaurant with their hands up. at last count, we have 170 individuals that we have arrested. >> reporter: the count grows to an unprecedented 177 bikers arrested.

>> i believe it was 16 days. >> reporter: thecluding matt who says he took cover in the bathroom during the melee. >> reporte >> why would they feel the need to take over 170 people and put us behind bars just because we were there and riding a motorcycle. >> reporter: there were so many bikers arrested they had to bring them here to the waco convention center. they divided rival bikers into separate rooms where they were processed and held into the middle of the night. first, we were zip tied and stayed zip tied for 18 hours. what's tearing me up the most is not knowing what's happening with my wife. >> reporter: they say they went to twin peeks for a biker meeting and now they're being questioned in a massive criminal investigation. >> i couldn't understand in my

head what did i do wrong? why were we being held like this? >> reporter: but waco police say few of these bikers were innocent bystanders. >> this is a criminal element that came in and killed people. they came with violence in mind. >> sort of weave our way through here, if we can. >> reporter: video and audio clips obtained by cnn capture the chaotic scene inside the convention center as police interrogate biker after biker. >> did you physically, yourself, see anybody shoot? >> no . >> you think anybody knew? >> i'm sure that they did. >> reporter: some bikers are belligerent, others, it seems, are in shock. >> i came in with kirschner.

he's in the hospital at the moment. >> is he in a gang? >> apparently. yeah, could you tell me how he's doing? >> reporter: the story this biker tells is about his own son. >> reporter: and this man reach as boiling point. >> i don't have no. [ bleep] information. i don't understand why my phone is being confiscated when i didn't do nothing. >> reporter: a sea of mug shots are released. then bikers are taken to jail

and slapped with $1 million bonds. >> a million dollar bond. everybody in the room, same thing. and everybody's just -- >> reporter: did you look around? >> it was silence. everybody was in shock. >> reporter: he spent more than two weeks locked up. >> ib had to post $100 thousand bond to get out of here. it's just outrageous. there are families suffering, businesses suffering. you know, it's just unreal. >> what happened in waco that day is absolutely the most unamerican thing that i have seen the criminal justice system participate in on american soil ever anywhere. >> reporter: defense attorney paul loony represents three of the arrested bikers. >> everybody in our country is entitled to be looked at individually as to whether or not there's probable cause to believe that they were involved in a crime before they're held in a jail. they didn't do that.

but yet we're putting them through absolute hel anyway. >> the scene had to be secured. >> reporter: former atf agent says hel or not, this is how police needed to handle this incident. >> i think everyone has to understand that once gun fire erupt erupted, this became a crime scene and anyone who was on that scene became a potential part of the crime and if it's 20 or 1,000 people, we will take as long to insure our safety and the public safety. >> reporter: all the bikers are eventually released from jail but almost six months passed before anyone is indicted. >> we're not done. we still have a lot of work to do and we'll continue to do that. >> reporter: by march 2016, nearly a year after the massacre, 154 of the 177 bikers have been indicted by a waco grand jury on charges of

engaging in organizing criminal activity. one of those indicted is cossacks williams. >> i think these families are being sacrificed for somebody's political gain. >> reporter: all, even those hiding in the bathroom, face life in prison. yoir theory of all of these indictments and cases? >> everything they have done has been seemingly peculiar. in fact, i've laughingly called it the book of waco. you've got to find a special book that only the waco people have. it. >> reporter: coming up, the war in waco rages on. what's next? who's to blame? do you think police over reacted that day? >> i think they underreacted.

san antonio, texas. this is the epicenter of the fight against the bandidos.

here federal agents from the do jer j and fbi have far more on their minds than what happened 200 miles away in waco. >> the san antonio federal prosecution, i believe, is going to be an effort to completely crush criminal behavior from motorcycle clubs. >> reporter: attorney paul loony represents three bikers arrested in waco. do you think they'll ever see a waco courtroom? >> no, not one. i think federal investigators took charge on the very first day. their goal is to maintain the status quo while the federal agencies complete their investigation in the ban diedo indictment out of san antonio. >> reporter: that was underway long before waco ever happened and likely has a different goal. loony believes the feds are really after the big guys who call the shots for the bandidos. did you know it was coming?

>>. [ bleep] no i didn't know it wait was co. i been waiting that gate. >> reporter: the feds came for pike in a big way. torching their way through his gate in an early morning raid. they woke you up? >> yeah, they woke me up. somebody's here and i looked. i saw an army tank looking thing and i said baby, that would be the cops. >> reporter: it was a cavalry of around 20 federal agents. >> i guess i better get up. >> reporter: pike and other leaders were indicted including assault, extortion and murder. but no mention of the shootout in waco. pike pleaded not guilty and is out on bond awaiting trial. the indictment against you and the others says you guys are

extortionests, thieves, murderers. >> who'd we kill? >> reporter: neither pike nor the two men indicted with him were in waco that fatal day when nine bikers were killed. either way, pike says, the bandidos didn't start it. did the bandidos declare war on the cossackss? >> they asked me that in the interview and i said how do you do that? it's an act of congress to declare war. i don't know what they're talking about. evidently, somebody said it, but it sure wasn't me. >> they were on a mission for something and it wasn't good. who shows up to twin peeks with batons, brass knuckles? >> reporter: bandido was in waco and in the middle of the brawl. you think they came there to ambush you that day? >> without a doubt.

>> reporter: not so says dean, a cossacks biker who took a bullet that day. he asked us to hide his identity. >> reporter: dean says it was a bandido who fired the first shot. carozel says that's ridiculous. >> who would be that dumb to pull out a gun and shoot when you're surrounded by 50/60 guys. we were ambushed in a war zone. >> reporter: what did these guys die for? >> reporter: investigators continue to piece together how the melee began.

the bandidos and the cossacks point fingers at each otherer but have come together over one thing. both clubs blame the police for escalating the violence and for killing some of their brothers. do you think police over reacted that day? >> i think they underreacted. they could have one uniform police officer standing on the sidewalk in front of that place and nothing would have happened. but they didn't do that. they promoted the confrontation. they got ready to film it, they sat in the shadows with their guns. >> why did you have an armored vehicle there if you weren't going to use the dam thing? >> reporter: and waco police sited a gag order. but former atf agent says there was litthle the cops could do. >> biker organizations have always fought with police and at

the end of the day, more guns in the room don't necessarily make it safer and more police officers in the room when the shootout happens doesn't cause less death, it might cause more death. >> reporter: how many of the cossackss killed that day do you thing or believe were killed by law enforcement? >> reporter: full ballistic reports have not come back. but evidence from the autopsy and firearm analysis shows some of the dead bikers were hit by two .23 caliber ammunition, which is generally used by police for assault rifles. what's not clear is if police gun fire actually killed any bikers. >> they were carrying standard
