Deputies who working security at the party chased the shooter. They fired their weapons, but the suspect did get away. Neither deputy hit anyone.
In the meantime, Harris County deputies sealed off the banquet hall parking lot and wouldn't let any kids leave the premise. Many of those kids had to call their parents.
Some parents who came up waited for up to three hours to take their kids home.
"I was upset with him of course, because he didn't make curfew," said parent Stacy Coleman. "So I asked him what was going on and he said he thought somebody had got in a fight and the police had kind of barricaded them all in."
The young man who was shot was taken to an area hospital. The shooter remains at large.
