Violence erupted between motorcycle gangs at a peace rally in California over the weekend.

The ironic incident took place during a Stop the Violence Rally at Victory Outreach Church in Los Banos, California. According to police officials, members of the Mongols motorcycle gang peacefully attended the rally which hosted a car and bike show. However, nearly a dozen members of the Hells Angels rode by the event in the late afternoon, confronting the Mongols.

An argument turned into a fight which lead to shots being fired from a handgun and although no one was shot, stab wounds were reported from the violence.

Several law agencies responded to the incident and arrests were made relating to weapons found members and their motorcycles. Despite the violence, organizers plan to hold the event again next year.

"We have to bring awareness and come together as a community," Rev. Chris Castaneda from Victory Outreach Church told reporters.

Officials have said that a motorcycle show scheduled for July 11 at the Los Banos Fairgrounds will also still be held, but with added security.
