Concert Held For PANTERA Fan Who Died Helping DIMEBAG: Video Available

December 17, 2004

An emotional tribute to Nathan Bray, one of the four victims of last week's nightclub shooting in Columbus, was held in Ohio, according to WBNS-10TV. Watch a video report from WBNS at this location.

The band VOLUME DEALER, the band that opened for DAMAGEPLAN that fateful night, headlined the show.

Hundreds of dollars were collected in Bray's memory.

As previously reported, Nathan Bray was killed when he jumped up on stage and and tried to perform CPR on guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott after he was shot by a longtime fan of his former group, PANTERA.

"When (Bray) looked up at the shooter that's when the shooter shot him," Adam Vanover, 45, of Bellefontaine said.

Witnesses and police said a group of people tried to help those who had been shot after Abbott's band DAMAGEPLAN began playing at Alrosa Villa on Dec. 8. Police shot and killed the gunman, Nathan Gale, 25, of Marysville.

Bray's funeral was held Saturday (Dec. 11) in his hometown of Circleville, about 30 miles south of Columbus.

Another benefit concert is planned for all of the shooting victims. It will be held New Year's Eve in Columbus.
