Wacco shooting?

(CNN)Things were a little quieter Tuesday in Waco, Texas. Fewer motorcycles roamed streets around the city where, two days earlier, a brawl-turned-shootout involving rival biker gangs left nine dead. Threats against law enforcement, some of whom opened fire, had "toned down." And with more and more vehicles and motorcycles towed away, the asphalt around the Twin Peaks restaurant looked more like a parking lot and less like a crime scene.

Does this all point to peace coming to this swath of central Texas?

No.

A lot is still unsettled. There are 170 people locked up in the McLennan County Jail, each facing $1 million bond on charges of engaging in organized crime. Some may have capital murder charges levied against them soon. Even then, the investigation could take months to finish.

Three detainees were initially given a lower bond of $50,000, McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara told CNN's Kyung Lah. This happened before the magistrate set the $1 million blanket bond for all 170. Those three are now being sought under the $1 million bond, and being brought back in.

Seven of the 18 people injured in the melee remained in local hospitals Tuesday, though "all are stable and most improving," according to Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton. Those who got out of the hospital could find themselves soon confined to a jail cell, he noted.
