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.

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" If you would like to read all of the lyrics on their album "NEW FOUND POWER" the link is below... http://www.lyred.com/lyrics/DamagePlan/New+Found+Power/ |

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
