Marc Quidit was working with his sister at his Dollar Plus and Party Supplies store in Sonoma Boulevard when two armed men entered, according to a report by NBC Bay Area News.

Surveillance footage posted by KTVU News on Tuesday, February 16 shows Quidit vacuuming while his sister stood behind the counter. Two hooded and masked men entered with guns. Seconds later, one of the suspects opened fire at Quidit. The men then took off.

In a video shared on a GoFundMe page for Quidit, he can be seen taking steps at a hospital with some help from a walker and being able to walk up to 100 feet. 

"Honey, did you see that? I can go back to work next week," Quidit can be heard saying in the video. 

Quidit was brought to John Muir Medical Center in critical condition following the Tuesday night incident. He underwent surgery to remove the four bullets from his body.

The GoFundMe effort for Quidit has so far raised $80,000.
