Rosales ran out of the bar to warn deputies about the shooter's location, preventing them from walking into the gunman. "It's a male, blue shirt ... he's in that gray pickup with the door open," Rosales responds. "Gray pickup with the door open," Carrasco repeats before speeding ahead. During the exchange of gunfire, it was challenging for deputies to keep eyes on Snowling, a retired Ventura Police Department sergeant, Carrasco said. On Thursday, Carrasco and Rosales met officially for the first time inside a conference room at the Orange County Sheriff's Department office in Lake Forest.
