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.

Dimebag was a staple at Dallas Stars games, and a good friend of many of the players, even did the team's theme song during their Stanley Cup run back in 2000. This is horrible news.

I wonder why they're not releasing the name of the other deceased band member.

This is horrible.

Well it is not as important as 600,000 barrels of oil I guess.

I'm not sure. I've surfed all the local TV stations and the Columbus Dispatch, but haven't found anything else. I'll check again in the morning.

This is unbelievable. What a horrible, senseless crime. What kind of a freak would do such a thing?

RIP Darrell. Pantera was one of my favorite metal bands.

Aw, man, not Dimebag. This kind of thing is just not the way to express one's musical tastes.

My guess is they haven't notified the family yet. If Vinnie (another band member and Darrell's brother) survived then they could release the name immed. Other bandmembers family would have to be notified first, I imagine. On the band's website there is some confusion whether Vinnie or Bobzilla was the other member killed.
