CNN) -- A member of the Outlaws motorcycle gang was killed in a shootout in Old Orchard, Maine, as authorities tried to execute a search warrant as part of a federal racketerring indictment, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Eplosives said. The dead person's name was not immediately released, said ATF spokesman Mike Campbell.

Meanwhile, the national president and other top Outlaws leaders were among 27 bikers arrested in a series of raids. They were named in a federal racketeering indictment out of Virginia which also alleged crimes including attempted murder, kidnapping and assault. Outlaws National President Jack Rosga and 26 others are named in a 12-count indictment that also lists robbery, extortion, witness intimidation, drug dealing, illegal gambling and weapons violations. The Outlaws are an organized criminal enterprise that involved itself in a number of illegal activities, the indictment states.

"Today's arrests of the national president and leadership of the American Outlaws Association mark another aggressive attempt by the Department of Justice to dismantle what the indictment alleges to be a gang whose entire environment revolves around violence," U.S. Attorney Neil MacBride said in a statement.

The acts of violence and conspiracy charges are related to the Outlaws' efforts to gain territory from rival motorcycle gangs, most notably the Hells Angels. According to the Justice Department, the Outlaws have more than 1,700 members, who belong to 176 chapters in the United States and 12 foreign countries. The Outlaws are involved in the production, transportation and distribution of methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana, according to the department.

Old Orchard can't be more than 25-30 miles from where Brian stays in the summer at Sebago Lake.  Got to bet the local grape vine is buzzing up there right now.

Have you ever wondered why the media feels a need to throw in the word "motorcycle" in nearly every sentence in one of these little news stories?  I find it very strange that they just refer to gangs as gangs or street gangs in all the stories about the folks who are riding around in cars killing other folks over "turf".  For instance, I don't remember any headlines about the Latin King's Low Rider gang.

I imagine for the same reason that they ALWAYS mention when a rider crashes w/o a helmet but never mention it when they're wearing one.

There was also an incident here in Switzerland last weekend, from what I understand the Outlaws Germany had had decided to start there first charter here in Switzerland but 81 had other ideas about it, I understand that a show of force of about 100 turned up at the local on saturday afternoon where the Outlaw MC were to have an opening party, shots were fired but the main casualties appear to have been car and van windows which were parked in the area.

They only mention motorcycle twice in that article, once when initially referencing the Outlaws and then when referencing their turf war with the Hells Angels.  Seems logical to me, after all they are known as Motorcycle Clubs.  I don't believe the street gangs refer to themselves as automobile clubs, do they?    Not sticking up for the press, but I don't see any excessive posturing because they ride motorcycles.
