Biker Shot At Charity Rock Show

06/04/2012
. (Classic Rock) A charity rock show in Spanaway, Washington, US, erupted with gunfire this weekend as tensions between rival biker gangs spiraled out of control.

The Northwest Metal Fest was being held by the Bandidos fraternity to raise funds for cancer support, featuring the first headline appearance of thrash metal band Mace in 23 years. But violence ensued when members of the Ghostriders gang arrived in an SUV at Uncle Sam's American Bar & Grill wearing their colours.

"A small group of Ghostriders showed up. One of the members tried to enter the bar while wearing his jacket. The Bandidos asked him to remove it so as not to disrespect their club. When he refused a group of Bandidos surrounded him," Local news outlet Q13Fox reports. "The Ghostriders member felt threatens and reportedly pulled a gun and shot a Bandidos member in the arm. He was then tackled by a friend of the victim, disarmed and held for police."
