James O'Malley went to Cook's Corner to enjoy a beer and good food with an old friend. He ended up hiding in the kitchen as a gunman killed three people outside.
James O'Malley went to Cook's Corner Wednesday night to enjoy a beer and good food with his friend, 67-year-old John Leehey.
"She said 'He's coming!'" O'Malley recalled."I asked her 'The shooter?' She said yes... right when she said yes there was a barrage of bullets — all going toward us.""The bullets were coming toward us and you could hear them clicking on the ground," said O'Malley. "I thought he tripped and then my mind said no that wasn't a trip because he didn't even cushion his fall," O'Malley said as he stammered."Then, I saw blood. He was hit. Bullets still kept on hitting and the man next to me got hit in the arm. It was a bad wound. I found out later he's the cook."
He stayed inside the kitchen, clutching the frying pan, until he heard the sirens of the Orange County Sheriff's Department roaring outside.
