Damageplan, Dimebag Shooting Video Released

Band Photo: Damageplan (?)
NBC 4 has issued the following report:
A homemade video (slideshow) was released Friday (June 3) of a deadly nightclub shooting that occurred during a heavy metal concert last year.
The camera was positioned at the back right portion of the stage looking into the audience as Nathan Gale began shooting during the DAMAGEPLAN concert at Alrosa Villa on Dec. 8, 2004, NBC 4's Teresa Garcia reported.
The band had set up the camera before the show. The camera captured most of the five-minute shooting rampage. Gale shot and killed four people and injured three others before a Columbus police officer entered the building and killed him with one shotgun blast to the head.
DAMAGEPLAN began playing just after 10 p.m. About a minute later, a security guard runs off stage and within seconds, Gale can be seen on stage with a gun. He is pursued by the security guard, and the first shot is fired. More shots soon follow, and two men are hit.
One of those killed by Gale was renowned heavy metal guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott.
The crowd appears stunned, but many stay by the stage and watch.
"Call 911 somebody," one person can be heard yelling. "Somebody call 911."
Gale is still on stage. Some people try to jump on the stage to help those shot.
While one man tries to motion people away from the stage area, the chaos continues, Garcia reported.
"Get him, get him, go," one person said.
Five shots are then heard.
"He's gotta run out of ammo by now," another person said.
But Gale wasn't done.
"He reloaded man," someone said. "I know he did, dude. He reloaded. He reloaded. Get down dude, get down. No!"
After five minutes, Gale has a hostage gripped by the neck. By then, Officer James Niggemeyer had entered the back of the building. He then fired the shot that ended it all. The shot can be heard clearly on the tape.
Other officers immediately run in to assist. Niggemeyer also can be seen on stage, clearly shaken by what just occurred.
Some people in the club immediately approach him and thank him for what he did and pat him on the back.
"He had his gun to his head," one man said. "You had to do it."

I think its bullsh** everybody blaming phil for dimes death i seen Pantera 8 times down 3 times have dvds SJR shows phil loved dime like a brother. Band members have disagreements all the time but nobodt wishes this tragic stuff on anybody. The last time i seen dime he was jammin with his brother at alpine valley ozzfest with disturbed and they kicked a$$ and he was having a blast that was 2003. I dont believe Vinny blames Phil at all. So anybody that thinks Phil or talks sh** about Phil having anything to do with it i have a few words for you "YOUR A RETARD THAT KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT PANTERA, DAMAGE PLAN, SJR,DOWN, PHIL,DIME,VINNY,REX, or metal at all peaple like you have no business listening to it your all dumb MF's you peaple piss me off GET A LIFE!!!!!!!

vinnie obviously holds something against phil because he wasnt allowed to the funeral,it was alot worse than we were let on to believe.and i think he did wish things on him all the time,and you would know this if you went to a sjr concert because he was always runnin his mouth about dime,but i dont blam him for dimes death .he cant help it hes a egotistical f*** who never cared about anyone but hinself

yeah i can't watch the greatest metal guitarist get shot buy some low life! get that sh** off the net, it's f***ing sad man. it's not phil's fault either but man it goes to show how these petty feuds only mask your real feelings for someone. after they die you relize how much you cared for them and it wasn't worth it at all. A lesson learned in life , known from the dawn of time.....
oh and why the f*** should we remember nathan gray!!! i don't even want to get into that one!!

i would down grade the mans whole family. you cant base the actions of one person on the whole family.by the way gale is dead what more can you want. the video doesnt show much anyway but him fire one shot and you cant even see dime when it happens.its still sad knowing the shot you see killed him though.

27. writes:
WTF? f*** Nathan Gale. I don't give a f*** about him or his f***ing family. I think we should desicrate his grave and f***ing put his body on the hood of my f***ing car and drive around with that mother f***er on there, and everyone can gather on the side walk and spit on his corpse when i pass.
As for Phil, what a moron. Poor bastard. He never meant what he was saying about Dime. He was trying to be all bad ass-y, but when that sh** happened, i think he grew up and realized that all the sh** he was saying about Dime wasn't sh**. Hey, for reals, f*** the guy that leaked this sh** onto the internet.
I was serious about desicrating his grave though. All right metal heads,
Rock On!

Dime used to say rock on. Whatever, i guess all you real fans new that sh**. Anywho, that does suck about Gale families being f***ed with. I just want justice for this sh** you know? It's f***ing unfair.
As for you racist f***s, it's real sad that your parents raised you that way. If they weren't so ignorant, and raised you different, you'd have a different out look on people. I hope your children turn out better.

You know what we should do with all the racists? When you're doing your census thing, there should be a box you can check if your racist. Then, we could take all of you and move you to your own territory/state, to 1. Keep the ignorance away from the general public and 2. to keep you guys happy. You wouldn't have to worry about any other races coming in there, and you could be superior all you want. By yourselves and secluded. lol

You all know that nathan gale kid was mentally ill yeh? if youve ever gotten to know someone with schizophrenia (my m8s boyfriend had it) you know its not something that you wanna have. seriously it f***s you right up. He shot him while having a schizophrenic episode. A while back a mother stabbed her baby 33 times while having a schizophrenic episode. Its never good.

PHIL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DIMES DEATH! HE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE BEST OF FRIENDS WITH HIM BUT IT WASNT HIS FAULT HE DIDNT WANT IT TO HAPPEN AND pantera4life HAS A POINT. IF YOU THINK PHIL ANSELMO HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT,THEN YOU DONT NO ANYTHING ABOUT: PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN,SJR,DOWN,DIME,PHIL,REX,OR VINNY. THEY WERE ALL LIKE BROTHERS SO SCREW YOU ALL

i can't stand when all of these people get on here and disrepect one of the people who had the biggest impact on metal. you didn't really have to be a diehard fan to know who dimebag darrell was. that might be the problem. some punk a** kid who thinks they know metal. who get on these sites and talk so much s***. i'm talkin about the f****** who disrespect it.
TAKE US WITH THE FLOODS
RIP Dimebag Darrell (though gone will never be forgotten)

i haventseen anybody saying it was phils fault so stop trying to create arguments,and if even if they thought it was his fault you cant say they nothing about all phis bands,because bower didnt love him like a brother.bower was always runnin his mouth about dime because he says dime screwed him out of a randall deal awhile ago.as well as phil he couldnt stop from disrespcting dime and vinnie and pat and bob.if youve been to a sjr show you would know this.its odd he ran his mouth so much before he passed away now he loves him like a brother.i dont blame phil for dimes death but i do blame hime for breaking up the greatest band ever in my opinion.

hey Junior treat him with respect. you just don't talk about a legend. and especially don't call him dead man. he was THE greatest guitarist ever. and i know someone will disagree but that just what i think.

A tragedy in metal (DIme). Now a stabbing at a COC show killing one wounding 3, is not what we should be paying to go to these shows to see. Go ahead and let those angry feelings out in the mosh-pit. But.... can we PLEASE leave the weapons at home. R>I>P DIME!

Pathetic 50 took 1 in the face 8 to the rest of his body.He's only released 2 record's so he's hardly the greatest in Hip Hop.(that honor belong's to RAKIM exclusively !)Much less any other style.Record sales are not an indication of greatness.see Britney Spears.
