COLUMBUS, Ohio - A man charged onstage at a packed heavy metal show and opened fire, killing at least four people including guitarist Darrel Abbott before an arriving officer shot him to death, authorities said.






Columbus police department spokeswoman Sherry Mercurio identified three of the victims of Wednesday's shooting as Abbott, guitarist with the heavy metal rock band Damageplan, and two other men, Nathan Bray and Erin Halk.


Damageplan had just begun their first song at the Alrosa Villa when the man opened fire, first targeting Abbott, shooting him multiple times at point-blank range, a witness said.


Abbott, one of metal's top guitarists, and his brother, Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, were original members of thrash rock pioneers Pantera, one of the most popular metal bands of the early 1990s.


The witness, 22-year-old Chris Couch, said he was standing about 30 feet away from the stage when he noticed a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and hockey jersey walk up to the stage, followed by a bouncer and another club employee.


The man in the jersey climbed onto the stage, started yelling and shot the guitarist five or six times at close range, Couch said. He said the gunman also shot a bouncer who pulled him off the musician.


Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Brent Mull said that after shooting at members of the band, the gunman fired into the crowd. Mull said a police officer who arrived shortly after the shooting began shot and killed the gunman.


"If the officer wasn't as close as he was, I think this would have been a lot worse," he said. "It was a chaotic scene, just a horrific scene."


Mull said more people could have been shot and left the scene before authorities arrived.


After the shooting began, Couch and a friend headed for the exit along with a tide of hundreds of fans.


"It was definitely a grudge. It was against something," Couch said.


Amanda Stankus, 19, who attended the show with Couch, said she initially thought the shooting was part of the show. "I just saw the guitarist fall down, and we decided to get out of there," she said.


Other members of Damageplan include vocalist Patrick Lachman and bass player Bob Zilla, according to the band's Web site.


A message left with Atlantic Records, which oversees the record label on which Damageplan records, was not immediately returned.


Damageplan's Web site said Darrel and Vinnie Abbott grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area where their father Jerry Abbott owned a recording studio. Another entry on the site lists the elder Abbott as a country-western songwriter.


Telephone numbers for both Darrell and Jerry Abbott are unlisted and could not be reached early Thursday by The Associated Press.


Pantera, known for its brutally hard, fast and aggressive sound, recorded four albums between 1990 and 1996. They attracted a massive cult following and the band's third release, "Far Beyond Driven," debuted at No. 1 in 1994, surprising chart-watchers and critics alike.

[maryjanegrove]

man thats fucked up considering wednesday night around midnight i decided to listen to pantera for the first time in a long time, while thinkign i didnt really know why i was listening to them considering the fact that i dont really listen to them at all anymore, even though i used to a long time ago.

weird.

r.i.p. - dimebag

[AbbaZabba]

Sorry that i made a thread on this earlier i didnt see this one. Anyhow i'm really pissed this happend and worst of all the fan who did it mentioned something about the pantera breakup. What kind of bullshit is that? killin someone for not being in a band anymore?! Because of this asshole who didnt like the pantera breakup there will never be a reunion or future damageplan cd's. RIP DIMEBAG THE GREATEST GUTARIST OF THE 90's

[Icey]

:( oh my god.. I did not hear about this until I just got on this morning.
I saw Pantera several years ago, I was a HUGE fan. Had all their albums and played many of Dimebag Darrells licks flawlessly on my guitar (after constant repitition and practice). I appreciated everything about Pantera, and I was especially drawn in by the creative and powerful guitar that Darrell performed.

maryjanegrove.. I also listened to Pantera last night, after not listening to them in a while. I played the Cowboys From Hell album and a few favorites from Vulgar Display of Power.

man I am crushed.. this is horrible news. I'm going to get drunk and rock out to Pantera tonight in memory of the greatest metal guitarist.
-Icey-

RIP Darrell

i know cleve iits fucked up !!!!!!!!!! why did he focus on dime bag the most ???

hoew dfidi the security let this happen come on now


HEY CLEVE IS UR AVITAR A KILL SWITCH ENGAGE logo ???


I have a theory on what happened. Okay it was a rock concert. So this guy gets on stage and security probably thought he was going to stage dive, but instead this lunatic opens fire on the band and people and thats when security rushed him. Still wow it sucks.

[clevemire]

HEY CLEVE IS UR AVITAR A KILL SWITCH ENGAGE logo ???Yes sir, it is.



I agree abba...

"Hey! That sounds like a great idea. I'm pissed about my favorite band breaking up. I'm just going to go kill one of the members, because I'm god and if I can't have my band, then there is no need for the individuals to exist."

Fucker was probably drunk or even wasted on some narcotics or some shit. Fucking asshole.

[LonerStoner]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

:( How absolutely senseless and tragic. Dime was an amazingly talented guitar player, and a really nice guy to boot. How tragic that it happene not only ON STAGE, but on the 24th anniversary of John Lennon being shot. WTF is wrong with people :( :mad:

[juanskee]

This sucks.

I still remember the cowboys from hell video from headbangers ball.

[az666]

Pantera have been my fav band for the past 5 years and dimebag being my fav guitarist in the world!!!!! What a fucking dick the guy who shot him was. There was nothing to justify sooting him!!!! I am fucking gutted by this shit!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
"I despise this fucking place"

[Cas420]

i can't believe my favorite guitar hero is now dead. there goes any and all hope of a pantera show i never got to see. my hand now hurts after punching my closet door goddamit

[Cas420]

this also sucks for krank and Dean cuz he just signed a new endorsement with both companies and krank has a dime signature amp coming out(well, maybe not anymore)

[poorman3]

R.I.P, dimebag

[thcbongman]

That definitely was a Vulgar Display of Power.

Dimebag, RIP

[Imotep]

That definitely was a Vulgar Display of Power.

Dimebag, RIP

lmao. good call dude. lol. :D
man thats sad, i loved kurt cobain.

[The Student]

Hello,

I cried when I heard that Kurt was dead. I was in a motel, on my way out actually. I was wating on my lady to get ready so I flipped on the t.v. to MTV. Kurt Lodher was on anouncing Kurt's death. I just broke down.

It is sad to hear about Dime Bag.

All the good ones go early in the day.

Rest in Piece.

[thecrackbaby]

I saw on cnn that the "fan" who shot him was crazy and thinks dimebag stole his songs. Thats according to his buddies.
I still listen to pantera all the time.

[Imotep]

i smoked a commemorative cigarette when kurt died.

anyhoo thatll teach him to steal peoples songs. thats wrong. :rolleyes:

[Euphoric]

on the bright side...at least he died doing what he loves. at least he didnt die alone and it was quick. his killer got shot down 3 minutes later. if you're going to go out, i say thats one of the better ways to go. RiP DiMe

um nice flowers imotep hahaha thats funny :)

[Imotep]

good way to go.

glad u like the flowers euph. i planted them. eeven disembodied skulls of zombie lords appreciate a good daisy.
