Twin Peaks is a chain restaurant that features scantily clad women working servers. All of the fatalities were bikers, NBC affiliate KCEN-TV reported on its website, after police said no officers had been injured or killed. It is uncertain if there were any casualties among patrons of the bar who were not affiliated with the bikers.
