WACO, Texas (KVUE) -- Preliminary autopsy results are complete on the nine men killed in a shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco on Sunday.

According to the results obtained by KCEN from the Waco Justice of the Peace office, 31-year-old Richard Matthew Jordan II, 65-year-old Jesus Delgado Rodriguez, 46-year-old Charles Wayne Russell, 44-year-old Daniel Raymond Boyett, 43-year-old Wayne Lee Campbell, 39-year-old Jacob Lee Rhyne, 47-year-old Richard Vincent Kirschner Jr., 40-year-old Manuel Isaac Rodriguez and 27-year-old Matthew Mark Smith were killed in the shooting.

All nine men died of gunshot wounds, and the manner of the deaths was classified as homicide.

Seven people are still in the hospital and are said to be in stable condition. The other 11 people taken to the hospital have been released.

Sgt. Patrick Swanton with the Waco Police Department said 170 people have been arrested and there is a good possibility more arrests could be made as the investigation continues.

Police said the fight started when one of the biker groups made a reservation at Twin Peaks for a meeting and another biker gang showed up uninvited. Swanton said they believe the fight may have started over a parking spot or someone's foot being run over in the parking lot.

Swanton estimated three to four officers fired their guns during the brawl, but it is unclear at this time if any of the bikers were killed by officers, pending autopsy results. The Texas Rangers are assisting in that investigation. Eighteen officers are considered involved because they witnessed violence or fired their weapon.

While Twin Peaks put out a statement saying that the altercation did not start inside, Swanton said there is blood and evidence in multiple areas inside the building, including bathrooms, the bar and the restaurant area. Police are also working to remove about 80 vehicles from the scene.

Law enforcement officials received threats following the shooting Sunday, but Swanton said those have since "toned down." However, police are still expecting more biker gangs to come into the area.

"In the gang world and in the biker world violence usually condones more violence," Swanton said. "Is this over? Most likely not. We would like it to be. We would ask for there to be some type of truce between whatever motorcycle gangs are involved. We would encourage them to try to be a little peaceful."
