COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At least five people died and two 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 other band member's name was not released. 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.

NBC 4 reported that of the surviving victims, one person was in critical condition while the other was in fair condition. Several others were treated at the scene, suffering from various injuries.

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.

As I said on IRC a little bit ago, I'm a rural hick. What's this so-called "Pantera" and, what's so important about it?

All you need to know is that Pantera is lame (I described it to a friend of mine as "monster truck rally music, all 18 tracks"). Why this is important is because the dumb motherfucker got shot.

Thank you for the warning Obfrog... I might have looked it up myself and subjugated my ears to it, unprepared. But now I'm prepared.


Anyways, R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell, just because it's expected to say such a thing in these sort of circumstances.

To quote Steph, the mystical LJ *** and mod-by-proxy at VMF:

a fucking guy
goes into a metal show
and starts shooting the band
that's fucking metal

Dimebag was a top-notch guitarist. Some of the stuff he could do was amazing.

I was fortunate enough to get to meet the band (Pantera) once. Awesome guys.

How is he a dumb motherfucker? He was doing what he loves to do and some wack job shot him. That's not his fucking fault. I'm sure if he was a member of some indie/underground band or whatever the hell music you are into you'd be actively campaigning to have the murderer's corpse defiled by cockroaches and pig guts.

No. This would never happen to a member of a indie/underground band cause they don't have a large enough fan base to include wack jobs like that guy. :p

Please lets not turn this thread into a "My music taste is better than your's" thread.

Frog I call BS on that.

One of the greatest metal guitarists of our time, and from what I've heard a nice guy to boot. And even if he wasn't, who fucking cares? He was gunned down in cold blood for no reason. That alone is enough to warrant mourning and cries of wtf.
