At least 2 people were killed and six others were injured after a shooting between rival biker gangs erupted at a New Mexico motorcycle rally Saturday, a report said.
The victims were struck at around 5 p.m. local time when gunfire rang out outside a retail sector of Red River, Questa del Rio News reported.
“It was gang-related,” Mayor Linda Calhoun said in a video posted by the news outlet on social media.
All the victims were “contained” in the shooting — none were local residents, according to the report.
The shooters are in custody, according to Calhoun.
