Six people were wounded when gunfire broke out on I-11 near College Drive in Henderson. Two were hospitalized in critical condition.

Hells Angels Las Vegas’ chapter leader John Richard "Rizzo" Devries, along with Stephen Alo and Russell Smith, face charges that include attempted murder.

Police said the shooting involved the Hells Angels and Vagos gangs after an incident at Hoover Dam. According to the arrest report, six members of the Vagos gang were chased down and shot by Hells Angels.

Prosecutors had requested $1 Million bail each for the three, but the judge instead set it at $380,000 for each, acknowledging the trio were a danger to the community.

It's also believed the shooting may have been in retaliation for a California shooting last month.
