Theme: Guns: Artists Victims of Gun Violence

During our weekly theme of "Guns" I think it is important to remember those artists who were injured and/or killed because of gun violence.

Sam Cooke, 1931-1964. Shot and killed by hotel manager, Bertha Franklin.
Bob Marley, shot, but not killed in 1976.
John Lennon, 1940-1980. Shot and killed by crazed fan, Mark David Chapman
Marvin Gaye, 1939-1984. Fatally shot by his own father, Marvin Gaye Sr.
Selena, 1971-1995. Fatally shot by fan club president, Yolanda Saldívar.
Tupac Shakur, 1971-1996. Killer unknown
Biggie Smalls, 1972-1997. Murder remains unsolved.
Dimebag Darrell, 1966-2004. Shot and killed by crazed fan, Nathan Gale.

Just to name a few...
