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.
