At least three people were killed and five others were injured in a shootout at a motorbike gathering in the US state of New Mexico on Saturday, as per local media reports.

The incident happened at 5 pm (2300 GMT) when 20,000 bikers gathered in Red River, a small town near the ski resort of Taos, for the annual Memorial Day motorcycle rally.

Red River Mayor Linda Calhoun confirmed the murders and injuries in a video interview with local media Questa Del Rio News and claimed an undefined number of people had been detained.

"No law enforcement, no first responders were injured. No local people were injured... It was a gang-related incident," she said, refusing to reveal which gangs were suspected of being involved.

"The shooters have all been apprehended," she added.
