William Couch, of Penelope, was at Hooters on Sunday afternoon after the shooting.
“It’s horrible,” he said. “You really don’t expect something like this to happen in a small town. But the way things are these days, I kind of always expect the worst.”
Hillary Haynes, an Air Force veteran who lives in Valley Mills, came to Waco on Sunday to jog along the downtown riverwalk.
Instead, she spent more than three hours on a park bench in Indian Spring Park watching law enforcement officers bringing more than 100 bikers, hands shackled behind them with zip ties, into the Waco Convention Center for questioning.
After the shooting, officers blocked off streets surrounding city hall and the convention center to use it as an interrogation site for bikers they rounded up.
“I am really not all that surprised, to tell you the truth,” she said. “There are a lot of bikers around here. It’s Waco. It’s not Dallas or Austin.”
