ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - Cook's Corner reopened on Friday, more than a week after the popular Trabuco Canyon bar was at the center of a horrific mass shooting.

Cook's Corner also plans to hold fundraisers for the shooting victims from the Aug. 23 shooting but did not give exact dates on when that will happen. The restaurant's owner explained the decision to reopen was to bring the family back together.
A vigil will be held Wednesday, September 6 at 7 p.m. at the Library of the Canyons in Silverado.
