Orange County sheriff’s officials were responding to reports of a mass shooting in the Trabuco Canyon area.
As many as 10 people were shot Wednesday night at a landmark biker bar in Trabuco Canyon, a law enforcement source said.
Few details were immediately available. But authorities had a large presence at Cook’s Corner on Santiago Canyon Road.The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the gunman was dead and that he was a retired law enforcement officer who might have been targeting someone he knew. A landmark motorcycle hangout, Cook’s Corner sits at the juncture of El Toro, Santiago Canyon and Live Oak Canyon roads, near O’Neill Regional Park.
Cook’s Corner was named after Andrew Jackson Cook, who got about 190 acres of Aliso Canyon in a land trade in 1884,His son, Earl Jack “E.J.” Cook, opened a roadside hamburger joint in 1931. Soon after Prohibition ended in 1933, alcohol was added to the menu, and Cook’s Corner became a full-fledged bar. In 1946, Cook bought an old mess hall from the Santa Ana Army Air Base, hauled it up El Toro Road, and the tavern was born.
