Nightclub shooting victim remembered

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Mourners attended a funeral for one of the four victims of a nightclub shooting, a fan of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott who a witness said had tried to save the heavy-metal guitarist.

While most concertgoers rushed for the exits after Abbott was shot by a longtime fan of his former group, Pantera, Nathan Bray jumped up on stage, held Abbott and tried to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, said Adam Vanover, 45, of Bellefontaine. "When (Bray) looked up at the shooter that's when the shooter shot him," Vanover 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 Wednesday night. Police shot and killed the gunman, Nathan Gale, 25, of Marysville.

About 200 people attended a private, two-hour service Saturday for Bray, 23, at a funeral home in his hometown of Circleville, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Columbus.
