At Least 5 Dead, 2 Wounded In Nightclub Shooting
Witnesses: Alleged Gunman Went Onto Stage, Fired Shots

POSTED: 10:32 pm EST December 8, 2004

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At least five people died and two others were wounded after a shooting at a Columbus nightclub on Wednesday night, NBC 4 reported.

The shooting took place shortly after 10 p.m. at Alrosa Villa, located at 5055 Sinclair Road.

Two members of the heavy metal band Damageplan were reportedly shot and killed, including Dimebag Darrell, formerly with the band Pantera, NBC 4's David Wayne reported. The other band member's name was not released. The alleged gunman also died at the scene, Wayne reported.

Shortly after the band began playing its first song, a man reportedly ran onto the stage and began shooting, according to a witness who identified himself as Sean. Some members of the audience reportedly thought the man running onto the stage with a gun was part of the band's act, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported.

Witnesses said that several shots were fired at the band. Witnesses said that a bouncer at the club tackled the alleged gunman before that person was shot and killed. It was unclear as to whom shot the alleged gunman.

NBC 4 reported that of the surviving victims, one person was in critical condition while the other was in fair condition. Several others were treated at the scene, suffering from various injuries.

Alrosa Villa is a popular north Columbus nightspot for young adults, featuring rock and heavy metal bands, NBC 4 reported.

According to the band's Web site, Damageplan was touring nationally. It performed in Buffalo, N.Y., on Tuesday night and had a concert scheduled in Flint, Mich., on Thursday.

Damageplan featured former Pantera artists Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. The pair were joined by vocalist Patrick Lachman and bassist Bobzilla, according to their Web site.

Wait, WTF? For fvcking serious??? No way...

Edit: I looked at the Columbus Dispatch, but you gotta effin' pay to read the article. But it did say members from Damageplan were shot. 🙁🙁
 
oh sh!t.... that's horrible... he was a great guitarist. Pantera used to be one of the greatest metal bands around.
 
Never a huge Pantera fan, but I liked Dimebag's playing - and his articles in Guitar World (don't think he's done those for a few years!)

RIP

Reverend, reverend,
Is this some conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
Put an image, beneath me
What's within my plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man, couldn't have feel this world
Left in my misery

The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
Nothing new for him to see
I didn't ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had
Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)

Well I guess
You took my youth
And gave it all away
Like the birth of a
New found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldn't cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
All alone as the
Memories now unfold

Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetary gates

Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder all aloud
If you're watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last

Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should've cried and spared myself some pain...
You left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain

The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain

Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetary gates

The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain

Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetary gates

im trying to find more links detailing who else got shot/killed... so far, it looks like vinnie might be alright, but of course, the most reputable source i could dig up was a post on a web board on damageplan's site. if anyone can find anything further, please feel free to post it, it would greatly be appreciated.
 
they're also saying Phil Anselmo (vocalist for Pantera) was there and was also shot, but it's just a rumor right now. God this sucks.
 
Aww man, Dime is dead. That's fvcking unreal. I just saw Damageplan a couple weeks ago opening for Shadows Fall. Man, what a loss to the metal community. One of the best metal guitarists ever. 🙁🙁t

that's why I'm calling it as just a rumor. I don't see why he would be there since he's such a prick. It was probably just wishful thinking from some DP fans....
