COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At least three people died and four others were wounded after a shooting at a Columbus nightclub on Wednesday night, NBC 4 reported.

The shooting took place shortly after 10 p.m. at Alrosa Villa, located at 5055 Sinclair Road.

Two members of the heavy metal band Damageplan were reportedly shot and killed, including Dimebag Darrell, formerly with the band Pantera, NBC 4's David Wayne reported. The alleged gunman also died at the scene, Wayne reported.

Shortly after the band began playing its first song, a man reportedly ran onto the stage and began shooting, according to a witness who identified himself as Sean. Some members of the audience reportedly thought the man running onto the stage with a gun was part of the band's act, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported.

Witnesses said that several shots were fired at the band. Witnesses said that a bouncer at the club tackled the alleged gunman before that person was shot and killed. It was unclear as to whom shot the alleged gunman.

Alrosa Villa is a popular north Columbus nightspot for young adults, featuring rock and heavy metal bands, NBC 4 reported.

According to the band's Web site, Damageplan was touring nationally. It performed in Buffalo, N.Y., on Tuesday night and had a concert scheduled in Flint, Mich., on Thursday.

Damageplan featured former Pantera artists Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. The pair were joined by vocalist Patrick Lachman and bassist Bobzilla, according to their Web site.

I'm listening to Cowboys right now. I poured out a shot in his name.
 
This is just horrible. I have heard that his brother Vinnie was killed as well, which just makes it twice as bad.

I met the two of them after a Pantera show in 94, and they were unbelievably nice and awesome to me. Dimebag (I think still "Diamond" then) signed my guitar with a nice "CFH" under the pickups. As you can imagine, I was pretty fucking thrilled. In fact, I still am, every time I think of that night.

I can't believe that out of all the shitty people in the world who could've had this happen to them, it had to hit the one really nice dude who truly brought a lot to metal. His style was totally unique and will never be faithfully reproduced by anyone. Of course, I'm sure a million other people could speak far more eloquently about him than I could. We'll be hearing a lot of that over the next few days. :(

The man had an Ace Frehley tattoo with Ace's real autograph tattooed right onto it. You really can't beat that.

Damn, this sucks.

He, Vinny, and the rest of Pantera were huge around here. They even wrote the Dallas Stars' theme/introduction song. Every radio station is talking about it -- not just the rock station.

Apparently the shooter was yelling at Dimebag before he shot him blaming him for the breakup of Pantera.
