State District Judge Julie Kocurek is back on the bench, nearly four months after an attempt on her life.

Kocurek return to her courtroom Monday morning to a standing ovation from co-workers and the community.

Judge Kocurek was wounded after an assailant opened fire on her vehicle, shooting her outside of her home back on Nov. 6th.

Kocurek was hospitalized for nearly two months.

Authorities say they believe 28-year old Chimene (Shuh-men-ee) Onyeri (On-year-ee) targeted Korcurek.  Onyeri is currently being held in Harris County on an unrelated murder charge.

Kocurek said she has a lot of physical therapy left to do and will be working half days until she is fully recovered.
