65438+On February 9th, 2004, Dimebag Darrell and DAMAGEPLAN, the famous former guitarists of PANTERA, just started to perform their first song in Alrosa Villa Bar in the north of Columbus, Ohio, USA. Suddenly, a man with a gun ran onto the stage. At first, the audience who didn't know the truth thought it was a deliberate arrangement for the stage performance of "Destruction Plan". But the man aimed at Darrell and other band members and suddenly shot, and also shot blindly at the panicked audience.

There were 250 people present, and witnesses said he fired at least four shots at Darrell. A policeman, James D. Niggemeyer, who was patrolling nearby, quickly rushed to the scene and immediately responded to the chaotic scene, killing the murderer on the spot. So far, four people have died and two people have been seriously injured. Among them, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was unfortunately killed and died on the spot at the age of 38, which made people all over the world feel sorry for rock and roll. Darrell was playing the guitar when he hit it. He didn't realize what had happened.

According to eyewitness accounts, the assailant stood next to Darrell and shot him several times in the head. According to the police, the gunman's name is Nathan Gale, 25 years old, from Mariville. So far, the purpose of this man's murder has not been determined. But the target is mainly band members. It is said that Gail shouted at Darrell before the murder, and the content of the speech was related to the dissolution of Pantella.

Police officer Brent Moore said that Gail had taken a hostage before he was killed, but he was not injured. The shooting took place in the afternoon 10 local time. Among the unfortunate victims are the DAMAGEPLAN band and the staff of the performance venue. Other members of the band Sabotage, including the former Pantella drummer and Winnie Paul Abbott of Darrell, almost died.
