One father recalls escaping to safety with his 7-month-old daughter as a gunman opened fire on a popular California biker bar
Members of the Trabuco Caynon community join in a prayer vigil to help families cope with the Cook's Corner shooting tragedy at the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., Friday, Aug. 25, 2023. LOS ANGELES — — Ryan Guidus was enjoying a spontaneous night out Wednesday with his 7-month-old daughter and mother-in-law at Cook’s Corner, a favorite family spot in Southern California that he’s frequented since his own childhood, when gunshots rang out.
Mountain bikers, finishing up a ride in the area, then helped him navigate the brush, one lifting a tree branch for him and his mother-in-law to crawl under, as they escaped to a nearby parking lot. He borrowed another mountain biker's cellphone — he'd dropped his own in the stroller — to call his wife and his parents.“I can’t stop hugging and kissing her,” Guidus said. “I obviously pray to God that she doesn’t remember this. I assume she won’t.
Authorities identified the fatally shot victims as John Leehey, 67, of Irvine, California; Tonya Clark, 49, of Scottsdale, Arizona; and Glen Sprowl Jr., 53, of Stanton, California.Sprowl had worked as a truck driver and a bouncer, his uncle Bob Herrick told the paper. He was the man who approached Snowling in the parking lot as Snowling went to his truck to gather more guns, the paper reported.
