Five people were shot amid a death metal performance on Saturday in San Bernardino.

One person was killed and four others wounded this past weekend when a gunman opened fire during a death metal performance in California.

The incident took place at around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 24 at the Marquis Lounge in San Bernardino, reportedly while Los Angeles death metal group Crawling Through Tartarus were performing. Band vocalist Matt Holzboog was allegedly one of those wounded and subsequently underwent surgery.

According to NBC Los Angeles, a 32-year-old San Bernardino man identified as James Vincent Dickson was killed, while three others were transported to a local hospital with gunshot wounds. A fourth victim later arrived at the hospital.

Police are currently investigating and there appears to be no known motive or suspect thus far.
