Four of the nine people killed in a melee between rival biker gangs outside a Texas restaurant were struck by the same caliber of rifle fired by Waco police.

The evidence provides the most insight yet into whether authorities were responsible for any of the deaths as well as the 20 who were wounded.

The latest trove of potential grand jury evidence depicts a chaotic, bloody scene in which police swarmed into the shootout between rival biker gangs on May 17 outside the Twin Peaks restaurant and arrested nearly 200 people.

Hours of audio and footage and hundreds of documents including ballistics reports show that four of the dead and at least one of the wounded were struck with bullets from .223-caliber rifles — the only type of weapon fired by police that day.

.223 is extremely popular however, the likelihood that it came from a police gun versus one of the bikers is higher as I don't recall any reports of the bikers carrying an AR platform firearm or other long gun that fires a .223. It would probably have made headlines if any biker was carrying a long gun openly to this event. Everything I've read the bikers who were armed were with pistols and there are only a few pistols that fire a .223- none of which are common.
