Gads, haven't had a good ol' fashion motorcycle rumble in a long time:

4 Killed in Nevada Casino Shooting

LAUGHLIN, Nev. (AP) -- Four people were shot to death after fighting erupted between motorcycle gangs at a casino early Saturday, authorities said. At least nine other people were shot or stabbed, hospital officials said.

About 100 people were taken into custody and bridges over the Colorado River were temporarily closed to traffic, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

The shooting occurred on the first floor of Harrah's during the 20th annual River Run, a large gathering of motorcycle clubs that brought up to 80,000 people into the gambling resort this weekend, said Larry Tunforss, a spokesman for the Bullhead City, Ariz., Fire Department, who confirmed the deaths.
Of course, this might just as easily be subtitled "Why people still hate motorcycles and motorcyclists, Part 8,533,234."

Makes me want to go for a ride.
