After he was hurt in a shooting over the summer, the owner of a Bloomington restaurant was back to work on Thursday.

Tran was seriously hurt and underwent three surgeries in the days after the shooting. While in the hospital and after being discharged, Tran saw an outpouring of support from the community, with a GoFundMe raising thousands of dollars to support him through his recovery.

A week after the Bloomington robbery, authorities say Glover was involved in another armed robbery at a liquor store in St. Paul, where he pulled a gun and assaulted an employee before stealing from the register.
