Dimebag Darrel shot and killed!

This is just awful. I can't believe it. WTF is wrong with people???

http://www.wcpo.com/news/2004/local/...ooting_ap.html


A man opened fire in a crowded nightclub during a rock concert Wednesday night, killing at least four people and wounding at least two others before he was shot to death by police, authorities said.

A man walked on stage during the show at the Alrosa Villa and opened fire on band members, killing four people and wounding at least two others, said Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Brent Mull, adding that more people could have been shot and left the scene before authorities arrived.

Mull said a police officer shot and killed the gunman. It wasn't immediately clear whether the officer was already at the show or had responded to an emergency call.

Columbus resident Chris Couch, 22, said the shooting occurred about 30 seconds after the show's headliner, Damageplan, had begun playing.

Couch, who was standing about 30 feet away from the stage, 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.

Couch said the gunman also shot a bouncer who pulled him off the musician.

At that point, Couch and a friend headed for the exit along with a tide of hundreds of fans.

It appeared the gunman purposely sought out the guitarist, whom Couch identified as a performer who went by the name "Dimebag Darrel."

Authorities didn't immediately provide the identities of the victims.

"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," said Stankus, of Columbus.

Stankus said she didn't see any metal detectors or uniformed police officers at the venue and that she wasn't searched or frisked on her way in.

That's completely awful! Where was the security? The metal detectors? Something needs to change. R.I.P. Dimebag.

That is so sad. This was a such a shock. I don't know what to think. Goodbye, Dimebag. RIP.

Quote: At Least 3 Dead, 4 Wounded In Nightclub Shooting
Witnesses: Alleged Gunman Went Onto Stage, Fired Shots

POSTED: 10:32 pm EST December 8, 2004
UPDATED: 11:36 pm EST December 8, 2004

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At least three people died and four 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 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.

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.

I've been checking out the lyrics from Damage Plan...and found that they are most interesting. I've read that they were beginning the first song of their set for the evening when all this happened...below are a few words from the song they had started playing..."Breathing New Life"...that struck me...i am also posting all the lyrics for the song "Blink Of An Eye"...both seemed quite prophetic in their own ways...

i realize that if we look hard enough we can see what we choose to see...but as a writer, i also realize sometimes we are spoken to through the words we/or others may write...

my prayers are with the famlies of everyone involved...



"Breathing New Life"

DON'T YOU SEE IT COMING
WHEN YOU'VE CAUGHT ON, IT'S TOO LATE
WHEN IT HITS, DON'T FORGET WHO I AM
DON'T FORGET THIS FACE


"Blink Of An Eye"

SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY THE DREAM
BECAME SO CLEAR
ALL WAS POSSIBLE AND GOD IT FELT SO NEAR
SO I SUFFERED AND I BLED, I TRULY DID BELIVE
YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE, BUT JUST WHERE
HAS IT BROUGHT ME

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
SEEMS LIKE MINUTES AS THE YEARS FLY BY
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
AFRAID TO STOP BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP TIME

STROBING SNAPSHOTS OF MY PAST BECOME A
BLURRING FLASH
JUST ONE THING CAN MAKE IT ALL COME FLOODING
BACK

IF I'D STOPPED JUST ONCE TO LOOK BACK MAYBE I
WOULD SEE
JUST HOW FAR I'VE COME, BUT IT TOOK IT'S TOLL
ON ME

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
SEEMS LIKE MINUTES AS THE YEARS FLY BY
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
AFRAID TO STOP BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP TIME

"Blink Of An Eye"

THAT'S JUST HOW FAST YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, EVERYTHINGS ERASED

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
SEEMS LIKE MINUTES AS THE YEARS FLY BY
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
DON'T EVER STOP BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP TIME

another song to check out is "Blunt Force Trauma"

I know. I still can't believe it. And right around the same time that Lennon was shot back in 1980. It's bringing all that sadness right back. I'm keeping the families and friends of those killed in my thoughts and prayers. R.I.P., Dimebag, you will be missed
