Three people were killed and five others were wounded in a shooting Wednesday at a Southern California biker bar, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said. The gunman was also killed by deputies.

The shooting occurred after 7 p.m. at Cook’s Corner in rural Trabuco Canyon in Orange County, a popular longtime watering hole for motorcycle riders and enthusiasts who gather for live music, open-mic nights or just a cold beer after a long ride.

    They leaned into the fact it was a biker bar, didnt wanna post on the headline that it was a former sheriff that was the one that started the shooting and then also fired on the cops who then took them down.

    MORE guns in bars, so more of these can play out, is the Republican policy.

      California’s strict laws sure did a bang up job preventing this from happening…

        Nice attempt to shift blame but CA is limited by the Supreme Court’s extreme interpretation of second amendment. At best we can have laws to keep incidents like this as rare as possible, and GOP wants to undo those laws.

        Ummm, you do realize this was a cop doing the shooting, right? They are generally allowed to have more access to guns than normal people.

    This was a retired police officer committing a femizide on his “estranged” wife and the man dining with her and then he killed some others. It could have been as much an ice-cream parlour if she had craved for ice-cream instead of a “biker bar”. It was not random “gunfire” it was a double execution with collateral damage.
