Nine Pagans Gang Members Charged After Wawa Shootout Injures Six
BREAKING: Nine members of the Pagans Outlaw Motorcycle Gang have been charged following a violent shootout at a Wawa convenience store in West Norriton Township, Pennsylvania, that left six individuals wounded, including two innocent bystanders. This shocking incident unfolded on October 17, 2025, around 9:12 PM.
Authorities confirm the suspects, aged between 29 and 51, hail from Montgomery and Berks counties. They face serious charges, including aggravated assault, conspiracy, and recklessly endangering others. The violent confrontation erupted in the parking lot of the Wawa located at 2500 West Main Street, as members of the Pagans confronted rivals from the Unknown Bikers Motorcycle Gang.
UPDATE: Six individuals suffered gunshot wounds during the chaos, with a male bystander shot in the face while inflating his vehicle’s tire and a female bystander struck in the torso. Three Pagans and one member of the rival gang were also injured. The scene quickly descended into chaos, with police recovering 14 fired shell casings.
Witnesses reported that the area was bustling with activity when the shootout began. Video evidence shows that the Pagans deliberately surrounded their rivals as they were pumping gas, escalating tensions into a physical confrontation that quickly turned deadly.
Court proceedings are ongoing, with eight of the men held on $500,000 cash bail after preliminary arraignments. The bail for Justin Ray Noll was set at $50,000 unsecured due to ongoing medical treatment. Defense attorneys argued for reduced bail, emphasizing the suspects’ community ties, but Judge Steven T. O’Neill denied these requests, stating the violence was akin to the “Wild Wild West” and posed a significant danger to the community.
Assistant District Attorney John Gradel argued against bail reductions, citing the potential for retaliation and the serious nature of the charges. He revealed that the Pagans had initiated the violent encounter, asserting their actions endangered at least 23 individuals during the busy evening.
The investigation, led by the Montgomery County Detective Bureau’s Violent Crime Unit and supported by various law enforcement agencies, is still underway. The nine suspects are scheduled for preliminary hearings on November 10 before District Court Judge Marc Alfarano.
As the community grapples with the aftermath of this violent confrontation, authorities continue to stress the importance of public safety and the need for accountability among those involved. Stay tuned for updates as this developing story unfolds.
