BN- Plaintiffs discuss settlement with Harrah's in 2002 Laughlin brawl - Monday, Nov. 8, 2010 | 5:50 p.m. - Las Vegas Sun: "After years of litigation, an undisclosed settlement was reached between Harrah's Laughlin hotel-casino and five bystanders who were caught up in a deadly 2002 melee between two rival motorcycle gangs that erupted during the annual River Run event. Plaintiffs on Monday discussed the case publicly for the first time.
The battle ended up killing two Hell's Angels members and one Mongols gang member in the Southern Nevada town, where tens of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts had gathered.
The bystanders at the casino were 'diving around, fearing for their life, jumping on the floor, seeing people shot, stabbed, hammers being used, wrenches being used on individuals,' Las Vegas attorney Brent Bryson said at a press conference at his office Monday. 'It was quite traumatic and certainly a life-altering event.'
One of the five bystanders, Dean Daniels, of Norco, Calif., said that for himself and his wife, Andrea, 'it was actually quite terrifying because we feared for our life.'"
