A Texas father was fatally shot Friday in a parking lot at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant while celebrating his daughter's sixth birthday.

Calogero Duenes, 24, and his wife and two daughters, ages 6 and 3, had just arrived at the Humble restaurant. The victim's family had gone inside when the shooting occurred.

According to KTRK-TV, surveillance video showed the shooter driving the wrong way and coming close to hitting Duenes. There was a verbal exchange and then gunfire.

"I saw him," Duenes' wife Amber Uresti told KTRK. "I saw him walking towards us. I told the lady my husband was on his way. I pointed at him, and the instant I turned around, he came running in through the door and he kept saying, 'I got shot! I got shot!'" Uresti said her husband was holding their daughter's birthday cake when he was shot.

1. Explain to me again how this is connected to having a well regulated militia

So many senseless murders, so many families torn apart, so a bunch of enthusiasts can enjoy their hobby.

What planet are we on?

2. F**k!!!

Why do I have a feeling that the shooter will try and use a self defense argument?

'Texas’ stand your ground law allows people to use deadly force against another person when they believe they are in imminent danger. The stand your ground defense is also known as the Castle Doctrine . Criminal defense lawyers often turn to the stand your ground law when defending clients who have been in a physical conflict.'

4. It would be kind of hard to do, when the victim was carrying a birthday cake....

9. Well, They might claim the birthday cake could be used as a weapon

it depends on many things though like the race of those involved and jury.

Like how Zimmerman defense claimed Trayvon Martin was armed with the sidewalk .
