DIMEBAG Killer's Mother Talks About Her Son: Video Available
December 16, 2004Columbus, Ohio television station WCMH has posted an exclusive video interview with the mother of the man who gunned down former PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and three others during a concert last week. Watch the video at this location.
According to the Associated Press, Mary Clark told WCMH on Wednesday (Dec. 15) that her son, Nathan Gale, was released from the Marines in 2003 after the military diagnosed the disorder. Gale's rampage last week ended when an officer shot him to death.
Clark, who asked the station not to show her face on camera, also said she bought the 9 mm semiautomatic handgun used in the shooting for her son, before he was diagnosed, because she was proud of his military service.
"I'll never, never be able to live that part down," she said.
Gale, 25, of Marysville, charged the stage at a show by Abbott's new band, DAMAGEPLAN, on Dec. 8 at the Alrosa Villa nightclub. He shot and killed four people, including Abbott, before police officer James D. Niggemeyer shot him to death.
Clark said Niggemeyer had no choice.
"I give that man credit," Clark said. "You'll never know how many lives he saved."
Two others were wounded in the attack, including tour manager Chris Paluska, who was released from the hospital Thursday.
