At a live concert of the metal band Damageplan, a bloodbath occurred in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday evening. Shortly after the show began, a man ran onto the stage of the Alrosa Villa and shot multiple times at guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, who co-founded Damageplan after the breakup of his former band Pantera last year. After further shots were fired at the band, resulting in at least one more member's death, the man fired into the audience. The horrific spectacle only ended when he was shot by a police officer who happened to be nearby. There are at least five dead, including a security guard who was trying to stop the shooter, and several injuries to report.
It has not yet been revealed what other casualties there are among the band members. The group included, besides Darrel Abbott, his brother Vinnie Paul, who was also previously the drummer for Pantera, singer Patrick Lachman, and bassist Bob Zilla. According to rumors, the perpetrator allegedly shouted before his shots: "You broke up Pantera... you ruined my life...". Current news updates on the situation are continuously published on the Pantera homepage http://www.pantera.com/.
