   Colorado Motorcycle Expo turns violent: 1 killed, 7 injured   
   'Whether it was motorcycle gang-related ... that is still to be determined,'   
   police chief says.   
      
   A battle involving gunfire and knives erupted at a Denver motorcycle   
   exposition on Saturday afternoon, leaving at least one person dead and   
   sending seven people to the hospital, authorities said.   
      
   There were no immediate arrests in the mayhem, which took place at the   
   Colorado Motorcycle Expo at the National Western Complex, Denver Police Chief   
   Robert White said at a news conference.   
      
   The event was canceled for Sunday. Police were talking to several witnesses   
   and a "person of interest" about the incident, in which four people were   
   shot, one stabbed and three injured in other ways, possibly in a fist fight.   
      
   Three people were in critical condition at area hospitals, while the others   
   had less serious injuries. White said there was more than one shooter but   
   could not say could why the fight started.   
      
   "Whether it was motorcycle gang-related, whether it was motorcycle club-   
   related, that is still to be determined," White said. "This is very early on   
   in the investigation."   
      
   The incident recalled a shootout last May outside a restaurant in Waco,   
   Texas, in which nine bikers were killed, 18 injured, and scores were   
   arrested.   
      
   A witness who requested anonymity out of fear of retaliation told the Denver   
   Post newspaper that the fight was started by rival biker gangs.   
      
   The gun fight occurred during the first day of the annual Colorado Motorcycle   
   Expo, described on its Facebook page as the largest indoor motorcycle swap   
   meet in the country, drawing thousands.
