Ten suspects in the deadly biker gang shootout at the Whiskey Barrel Saloon in Southwest Oklahoma City were in an Oklahoma County courtroom Monday.

Officers say three people were killed and several others injured after shots rang out between two rival gangs.

The bonds of the suspects range from 1 million to 7 million dollars.

Local, state, and federal agents arrested 10 suspects, accused of being involved in the Whiskey Barrel Saloon murders.

The ten suspects face felony complaints and hefty bonds ranging from $1 million to $7 million based on their alleged involvement in the gang related murders. Investigators watched the bar's security video to piece together the investigation, according to court documents.

“Did reveal that there were multiple players involved in some type of way,” Sgt. Dillon Quirk with the Oklahoma City Police Department said.

According to arrest warrants, the southwest Oklahoma City bar’s security video started around 8:45 pm. Police said one of the victims was seen walking through the bar and then left in a car.

Police noted the man sent a text to another biker telling him "Come on now."

Minutes later, a large group of motorcycles and several cars showed up to the bar. Police said the 10 recently arrested men were in the group.

At around 8:54 p.m., a large fight broke out between rival biker gangs.

One minute later, a barrage of gunshots filled the bar. Police were called to the Whiskey Barrel Saloon two minutes later.

Officers found three people dead and three people injured.

Investigators arrested the first three suspects days after the deadly shootout.

“There’s been a total of 13 [arrests] made so far in this case,” Quirk said.

Police searched the homes of two of the suspects. They were looking for evidence including DNA, firearms, electronic devices, clothing with biker gang logos and other personal items.
