2 dead, 3 wounded in Warren Township motorcycle club fracas

WARREN

Two people are dead and three others wounded after two motorcycle clubs met up early this afternoon in the parking lot of a Highland Avenue SW bar in Warren Township.

Township police Chief Don Bishop said the gunfire erupted about 12:35 p.m. after members of the Brothers Regime and FTW clubs, both based in Warren, exchanged words at Shorty’s Place, 2855 Highland.

“They wanted respect or something and the next thing you know there were shots fired,” Bishop said.

Names of the dead and injured are not being released yet, Bishop said. Of the three wounded, one was flown to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland for treatment; he did not know the condition of the other two, but both were taken to local hospitals.
