TRABUCO CANYON, Calif.—When Ann Marie Jensen pulled her car up next to a silver pickup truck in the back parking lot at Cook’s Corner on Aug. 23, little did she realize she was mere feet away from the gunman who would take three people’s lives and injure six others just minutes later.

Nearly two weeks later, she found herself standing in front of a growing monument for Tanya Clark, 49, of Scottsdale, Arizona, John Leehey, 67, of Irvine, and Glen Sprowl Jr., 53, of Stanton—who died in the shooting after a former Ventura police officer open fire on his estranged wife and others.
