R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell

To borrow a question from my erstwhile associate, AirGuthrie, who would possibly want to shoot Dimebag? And I found myself glad that it wasn't my cousin's band on stage, just in case this was purely random.

Columbus, Ohio (dpa) - Five people were killed and two injured in
the United States late Wednesday when a gunman leapt onstage and began
firing during a nightclub performance by a heavy metal band, reports
said Thursday,
The shooting, in the Alrosa Villa club in Columbus, Ohio, occurred
as the band Damageplan were playing. U.S. television network NBC
reported that shortly after the performance began, a member of the
audience stormed the stage, firing at least five shots at the group's
lead guitarist, Dimebag Darrell.
Darrell, a former member of prominent 1990s group Pantera, was
among those reportedly killed, along with another bandmate.
The unidentified gunman then reportedly turned his weapon on the
550-strong audience before being tackled by a member of the club's
security staff. He was then shot and killed by a police officer, news
network CNN reported.
Police have however not officially released the names of the dead
despite widespread reports that Darrell and another band member were
killed.
Witnesses told reporters that when the attack began, they had at
first thought it was part of the act.
