ACTION SEVEN NEWS AT SIX STARTS RIGHT NOW. I JUST LEFT THE AREA. I MEAN, I’M LIKE. I WAS, LIKE, FREAKING OUT. I WAS LIKE, I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED THERE. IT’S VERY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND. AND IT WAS A VERY ISOLATED EVENT. AND MY APOLOGIES TO THE PEOPLE THAT CAME HERE TO HAVE AGOOD TIME. THESE GANG BANGERS WHO ARE LAWLESS AND THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE TOLERATED FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEKEND OR ANY MEMORIAL DAYS MOVING FORWARD. THREE DEAD, FIVE INJURED IN A SHOOTING AS THOUSANDS GATHER FOR THE RED RIVER MEMORIAL DAY MOTORCYCLE RALLY. AND WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE TONIGHT WITH DARLENE MELENDEZ FROM RED RIVER AND FAITH BUENO ON THE MOTORCYCLE GROUPS INVOLVED IN THE SHOOTING. WELL, THAT DEADLY ATTACK COMING AS THOUSANDS CONVERGED ON THE TOWN OF RED RIVER FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. AND NOW IT’S THE STARTING POINT FOR AN ONGOING MULTI AGENCY INVESTIGATION. THREE PEOPLE ARE FACING CHARGES, 30 YEAR OLD JACOB CASTILLO FROM RIO RANCHO IS CHARGED WITH MURDER IN THE SHOOTING. POLICE SAY HE’S A MEMBER OF THE WATER DOG MOTORCYCLE GANG. ALSO FACING CHARGES. TWO PEOPLE INJURED IN THE SHOOTING. BOTH MEMBERS OF THE BANDIDOS, ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS AND FACING UNRELATED CHARGES. OFFICIALS ALSO TELL US ON FRIDAY, MEMBERS OF THE WATER DOGS AND BANDIDOS HAD A FIGHT OVER A PICTURE TAKEN WITH MEMBERS OF ANOTHER GANG IN ALBUQUERQUE. POLICE SAY THAT’S WHAT CAUSED THE GUNFIRE. IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME THE BANDIDOS HAVE BEEN A CONCERN IN RED RIVER. WE’VE HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST, OF COURSE. WE’VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I FEEL LIKE WE WERE AS PREPARED AS WE COULD POSSIBLY BE. NEW MEXICO STATE POLICE, THE LEAD AGENCY IN THIS INVESTIGATION, JOINED BY OTHER LAW, GO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE FBI. AND AS LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTINUES ITS INVESTIGATION, THE COMMUNITY CONTINUES DEALING WITH THE SHOOTINGS, AFTERMATH FROM ECONOMIC IMPACTS TO HOW TO MOVE FORWARD. ANCHOR DARLENE MELENDEZ CONTINUES OUR TEAM COVERAGE FROM RED RIVER. IT’S QUIET ON MAIN STREET TONIGHT. THE SHOOTING IS CHAOS IS NOW OVER AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE LEFT THIS SMALL MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY. NOW, AS THE TOWN LOOKS TO MOVE FORWARD, LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE SHARING THEIR DIFFERENT PURSUITS LIVES ON HOW TO DO THAT. ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF STATE POLICE AND OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, WE ARE ENCOURAGING OUR BUSINESS IS TO NOT BE OPEN. THAT WAS RED RIVER’S MAYOR LINDA CALHOUN, SPEAKING IN A PRESS CONFERENCE SUNDAY, THE DAY AFTER THE DEADLY SHOOTING DURING THE 41ST ANNUAL RED RIVER MOTORCYCLE RALLY. SINCE THEN, A LOT OF REACTION FROM LOCALS, ESPECIALLY BUSINESS OWNERS ON MAIN STREET. THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO REOPEN MONDAY. THIS ONE IS STILL CLOSED BECAUSE IT’S IN THE IMMEDIATE CRIME SCENE AREA. A DIFFERENT OWNER SHARING OFF CAMERA THAT RETAIL BUSINESS ACTUALLY GOES TO VENDORS IN TOWN ONLY FOR THE WEEKEND AND NOT LOCAL STORES. BUT THAT’S NOT WHY THEY HOPE THE RALLY ENDS. THEY SAY IT’S THE POTENTIAL DANGERS THAT THE BIKER GANG RIVALRY BRINGS, ALL PROVEN BY SATURDAY’S DEADLY SHOOTING STARTED WITH WORDS INITIALLY, THEN TURNED INTO A FIGHT, WHICH THEN TURNED TO SHOTS. FIRE BARS LIKE MOTHER LODE SALOON WERE IMMEDIATELY TOLD TO STOP SERVING ALCOHOL. THIS BAR OWNER REFUSED TO SPEAK ON CAMERA, BUT SIMPLY SAID THIS WE RUN A TIGHT SHIP. AND FOR RESTAURANTS LIKE DAIRY BAR, THEY ANTICIPATE THE BIKER RALLIES YEARLY IMPACT PREPARING FOR WEEKS. THIS SUNDAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REALLY BIG DAY. MOST DEFINITELY GOING TO IMPACT US FINANCIALLY AND EVERYTHING, BUT THE SAFETY OF MY EMPLOYEES AND PEOPLE AROUND AND STUFF WAS MY MAIN CONCERN. SO AS LONG AS EVERYONE’S SAFE, I’M HAPPY WITH THAT. RED RIVER’S MAYOR HAS CONFIRMED A SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING THIS WEDNESDAY AT 1 P.M. WHERE THE COMMUNITY IS INVITED TO DISCUSS SOME NEXT STEPS FOR THE TOWN AND THE RALLY. AND BASED OFF OF WHAT WE HEARD TODAY, WE CAN EXPECT SOME DIFFERENT BUT PASSIONATE OPINIONS. WE’RE IN RED RIVER. DARLENE MELENDEZ, KOAT ACTION SEVEN NEWS. THREE OF THE INJURED WERE TAKEN TO UNM. ONE BY HELICOPTER. STATE POLICE SAY ANOTHER PERSON WAS AIRLIFTED TO DENVER. THE REST TREATED IN TAOS. POLICE IDENTIFYING TWO BIKER GANGS IN THE RED RIVER, SHOOTING FEDERAL OFFICIALS LABELING THEM AS OUTLAWS. REPORTER FAITH BUENO IS HERE AND LOOKS INTO WHAT’S BEHIND THAT LABEL. ONE LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERT TELLS ME NOT ALL MOTORCYCLE GROUPS ARE THE SAME. MANY ARE JUST ABOUT HAVING FUN. BUT OTHERS ARE LINKED TO OTHER ACTIVITIES, EARNING THEM THE LABEL OUTLAW. A SHOOTOUT AT RED RIVER’S 41ST MOTORCYCLE RALLY. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE THREE DEAD AND FIVE INJURED SHARE ONE THING IN COMMON. ALL EIGHT INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS OUTLAW MOTORCYCLE GANG MEMBERS. THE VIOLENCE, HE SAYS, BETWEEN RIVAL GANGS. TWO, TO BE EXACT, THE BANDIDOS AND THE SECOND ONE IS A GROUP CALLED THE WATER DOGS. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CLASSIFIES SOME GROUPS AS OUTLAW MOTORCYCLE GANGS, SAYING MEMBERS USE THE MOTORCYCLE CLUBS AS PATHWAYS FOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, INCLUDING VIOLENT CRIME, WEAPONS AND DRUG TRAFFICKING. I JUST THINK WHEN YOU SAY THE WORD GANG, THERE’S A NATURAL TENDENCY TO THINK OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN IN CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERT PAUL ZAKK SAYS EVEN WITHIN SO-CALLED OUTLAW GROUPS, THAT’S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN THOSE GANGS, SO TO SPEAK, THAT ARE REALLY VIOLENT. AND THEN THERE’S SOME PEOPLE IN THE GANGS THAT AREN’T VIOLENT AT ALL. ZAHN SAYS SOME BIKER GANGS STAY CLEAR OF THE DRAMA AND PREFER TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE CONSIDERED TO BE IN A MOTORCYCLE GANG AND INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. BUT YOU CAN ALSO HAVE PEOPLE IN A MOTORCYCLE GANG THAT AREN’T INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. THEY’RE NOT THERE TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT TO RIDE AND HANG OUT WITH THE GROUP. AND POLICE SAY AMONG THE DEAD IS THE BANDIDOS CHAPTER LEADER IN NEW MEXICO. IN STUDIO 50, BUENO KOAT ACTION SEVEN NEWS. WHILE THREE PEOPLE ARE FACING CHARGES, OFFICIALS SAY MORE COULD COME.
