Five dead include gunman in Ohio shooting

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

Members of the heavy metal band Damageplan had just begun their first song at the Alrosa Villa when the man opened fire on the band, initially shooting the guitarist, who went by the name "Dimebag Darrel," a witness said. According to the band's Web site, the guitarist and another member are formerly of the heavy metal band Pantera.

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


Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Brent 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. Authorities didn't immediately provide the identities of the victims.

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," said Stankus.

A witness on another board claims the shooter was a disgruntled Pantera fan and that Vinnie Paul may be dead as well.

Fuck.

[baseline bum]

Fuck man. Dude was a legend and put out some of the baddest shit I ever heard.

[Marcus Bryant]

Craziness. Must've been a white as TPark gunman.

[ZStomp]

I've been thinking that it was probably Vinny...:(

FUCK!

[AlamoSpursFan]

Now I'm reading that Vinnie made it and was using someone's cell phone after the incident.

The other Damage Plan death may have been the singer.

Oh yeah, here's where I'm finding some of this:

He was in 9th grade, when I was in 7th grade at Gunn Jr. High in Arlington, TX
He played "eruption", and other cool guitar stuff at our yearly Talent Show, our jr. high weenies were going crazy!!


And I would also like to mention something about a theory I have, Ohio is the most unstable state in the US. I hear about more shootings, murders, serial killers, people getting shot for weird reasons, more than any other place. Just keep an eye on the news, you'll hear Ohio alot, trust me.
