Details are a little sketchy on the links<\/a> sent to us by Old Trooper and Country Singer in regards to a shootout at a Winter Springs, Florida VFW post as a formation of bikers were leaving the post after breakfast to embark on a charity ride. The only thing about the shooting is clear; two are dead and another biker is injured after scores of rounds were fired. WFTV link<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Some witnesses at the scene told Deal that the shootout involved a biker gang known as the Warlocks and was sparked by a dispute over turf and power. But police would only confirm that Warlocks members were at the VFW at the time of the shooting. Some of the people questioned by police were wearing Warlocks clothing — and were sitting on the ground in handcuffs.<\/p>\n

“Those people are at the scene, and they are interviewing them now trying to ascertain their involvement,” said Lt. Doug Seely of the Winter Springs Police Department.<\/p>\n

Some of those questioned by police who were wearing handcuffs were eventually moved inside the VFW building. Tow trucks hauled away vehicles riddled with bullet holes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, it looks like the shootout was a result of biker gang rivalries, not necessarily related to the VFW post. But, I guess we’ll see. <\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> It looks like we were right that it wasn’t related to the VFW or anything else. Dana sends us a link to the Orlando Sentinel<\/a> which explains;<\/p>\n

Details of the shooting have not been released, but Winter Springs police noted that a Pennsylvania Warlocks chapter that was not affiliated with the Florida Warlocks tried to start a second chapter in Seminole county.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds like the locals vs. the “snowbirds”. But four people have been arrested for the murder;<\/p>\n

I don’t know how Otis Campbell<\/a> got mixed up with that crowd, but that’s him in the first picture, isn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
