RIP Dimebag Darrell, Our Brother In Metal
09 Dec 2004 Metal Hammer is shocked and saddened to learn of the deaths of Damageplan's Dimebag Darrell, and four other people who attended the band's show in Columbus, Ohio last night (December 8th).
According to local TV station NBC4, the band were in the middle of the first number at the Alrosa Villa when an as-yet unnamed man - described by eyewitnesses as being in his early 30s wearing a blue hooded top - jumped out of the crowd and onto the stage and shot Darrell in the head at point blank range.
He then fired at the rest of the band before being tackled by venue security. He kept on shooting until police arrived and shot him dead. Of the surviving victims, one person was described as "critical" while the other was described as "fair" by the station. Several others were treated at the scene, suffering from various injuries. We will post more news when we get it.
Hammer's thoughts are with Darrell's family, particularly with his brother Vinnie Paul. Darrell and Vinnie and the other members of Damageplan have always been good friends to The Hammer and its readers, and attended the second annual Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards earlier this year where Dime was honoured with the award for Best Guitarist.
