August 18, 2009, 15 years ago
WE TV's Secret Lives Of Women airs tonight (Tuesday, August 18th) at 10PM EST and the season five opener features Mothers Of Murderers. According to David Hinckley here, the episode include the mother of Nathan Gale, the ex-Marine who killed heavy metal guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott (ex-PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN) and four other people at a Columbus, Ohio, nightclub in December 2004.
Gale was killed by a Columbus police officer, against whom his mother says she holds no grudge. In fact, she says, she met the officer and thanked him for saving other potential victims, since Gale still had 35 rounds of ammunition and wasn't being particular about whom he shot.
She does put some responsibility on the Marine Corps, which diagnosed Gale with paranoid schizophrenia and discharged him, rather than treating him.
