Fans pay tribute at the Alrosa Villa, in, three days after the murder On December 8, 2004, during the Devastation Across The Nation tour, Abbott was shot on-stage while performing with Damageplan at the in. A crowd of approximately 250 had watched four support acts (two local bands entitled Volume Dealer and 12 Gauge, and the tour support and ). Moments into Damageplan's set, 25-year-old former Nathan Gale shot Abbott five times in the head with a pistol. Some in attendance initially believed the shooting was part of the act, but as Gale continued shooting, the audience quickly came to the realization that the event was not staged. Firing a total of 15 shots, Gale killed three other people and wounded seven more. Jeff 'Mayhem' Thompson, the band's head of security, was killed tackling Gale, as was Alrosa Villa employee Erin Halk.

Two fans, including Mindy Reece, a certified nurse, administered CPR on Abbott until paramedics arrived, but were unable to revive him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

In 's documentary, Damageplan's Aaron Barnes stated that the whole time, after shooting Dimebag, Gale was looking for, possibly planning to murder him too.
