Another bizarre-o murder-suicide. But then again it's always weird at a strip club.
A man gunned down a topless dancer and then killed himself at a strip club, police said.

The victims were identified by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office as Dante Empie, 26, of Burleson, and Jene Stone, 21, of Cleburne.

Witnesses told police that Empie, a regular customer at the T&A Cabaret, was there for more than an hour Thursday afternoon when he approached a female employee and gave her a note, said Lt. Gene Jones, a Fort Worth police spokesman.

The man then approached Stone, who was in the main stage area, and pulled out a semiautomatic handgun and shot her once. As she lay on the floor, he fired several times, hitting her at least once, Jones said.

A male employee confronted Empie, who started to leave the club. But before he got to the door, he put the gun to his head and fired, Jones said.
As if strippers don't have enough to worry about with their creepy clientele and their nosy thumbs.

Gotta love the name of the place, though: T&A Cabaret? Classic. There's a place in New Mexico called "TD's". Sadly, the wife had to explain the pun. I'm kinda slow.
