I used to rock out to Pantera a lot. Now we can expect the inevitable, "What is it about heavy metal that makes people violent" storyline.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A gunman charged onstage at a nightclub and opened fire on the band and crowd, killing top heavy metal guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and three other people before a police officer shot him to death, authorities said.
The gunman had a hostage in a headlock and appeared to be preparing to kill him when the officer fired, police spokesman Sgt. Brent Mull said. The hostage escaped uninjured, Mull said.
Two other people were hospitalized. Police said one was in intensive care and the other stable.
Police identified the gunman as Nathan Gale, 25, of Marysville, 25 miles northwest of Columbus. Police said they had no information on a motive or any connection to Abbott or his band, the Texas-based group Damageplan.
Apparently there may be video of the shooting. It happened on the anniversary of John Lennon's murder by Mark David Chapman in 1980.
