The following report was issued by Columbus television station WCMH:
At least five people died and two others were wounded after a shooting at a Columbus, Ohio nightclub on Wednesday night.
Two members of the heavy metal band DAMAGEPLAN were reportedly shot and killed, including Dimebag Darrell, formerly with the band PANTERA, WCMH reported. The other bandmember\'s name was not released, but it . The alleged gunman also died at the scene, according to police.
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, the television station 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 who shot the alleged gunman.
Alrosa Villa is a popular north Columbus nightspot for young adults, featuring rock and heavy metal bands, WCMH 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.

That\'s horrible. Did anyone else notice that this happened on the anniversary of Jon Lennon\'s assassination?

this is the worst thing imaginable. Dimebag was the nicest guy too. It seems as though Vinnie has passed as well. The body guard for Damage Plan that goes by the name Mayhem was shot and killed as well. Please put Dimebag Darrell Abbott and Vinnie Paul Abbott in your prayers.

Vinnie is alive according to all the reports I have read. Although I can not imagine how hard it would be to go one after seeing your brother get killed right in front of you. No one else from Damageplan or their crew have been confirmed deceased except for Dimebag... 2 audience members have been confirmed as of right now besides the piece of shxt murderer.
This sucks so bad

This is some of the worst news I\'ve heard in a while. Pantera is my favorite band of all time. Dimebag\'s riffs literally changed my life for the better. He was the greatest heavy metal guitarist that ever lived.
