Trapped attendees asked to shelter in place
As the iconic Cook's Corner bar and restaurant reopened to the public Friday, many paused outside a makeshift memorial to pay their respects to the three victims of the mass shooting that took place there one week earlier.Cook's Corner, the eastern Orange County bar popular with motorcyclists and local families, reopened today, its management refusing to be defined by tragedy and determined to once again provide music, cold brews and its famous spaghetti dinner to patrons.
“I've cried so many tears,” said Jensen, a real estate appraiser in Mission Viejo. “And I jumped at things too. I’d just like normal back, but I'm not sure what normal is.” Before heading inside, visitors paused to pay their respects at a makeshift memorial -- festooned with flowers, notes and photos of the victims. The letters “R.I.P.” were scrawled in chalk in front of the row of bouquets.
Harry Bauland, a motorcycle enthusiast from Anaheim, said he had no doubt that the roadhouse would open its doors again after the shooting and made sure to be there Friday morning. Bauland said he started coming out to the hangout as a young man 30 years and now regularly brings three of his granddaughters. He said Friday’s mood at the establishment was more subdued than normal as people gave each other hugs, relieved “to come out and meet people and talk with people and express our disbelief of what happened.
