The Orange County District Attorney's Office has determined deputies were justified in fatally shooting a former police officer who was in the midst of committing a mass shooting at a Trabuco Canyon bar two years ago.

Retired Ventura Police Sgt. John Snowling opened fire inside and outside the Cook's Corner bar on Aug. 23, 2023, first targeting his estranged wife and then eight others.

Of his nine victims, three were killed: Tonya Clark, 49, of Scottsdale, Arizona, John Leehey, 67, of Irvine and Glen Sprowl Jr., 53, of Stanton. Six others, including Snowling's wife, were wounded. • Former Ventura police Sgt. John Snowling is seen at the Pacific View Mall.
