San Jose Mercury News: Ron Sesler was working the lunch rush at his steakhouse just blocks from the beach in this seaside town when he heard a rapid 'pop, pop, pop' sound that he at first thought was construction noise.
But when a frantic woman burst through the restaurant and into the kitchen, screaming '"They're shooting people, they're shooting people!" he knew it wasn't jackhammers.
Over the next nightmarish minutes, Sesler watched as hairstylists and customers from the next-door Salon Meritage streamed into his restaurant seeking refuge from the largest mass shooting in Orange County history.
