The deer hunter accused of killing six hunters and wounding two others in the woods of northern Wisconsin is believed to have resided in the Toledo area as a youth and attended Jones Junior High School.
Chai Vang, 36, of St. Paul, is listed as a student at the South Toledo school during the 1982-1983 school year, according to Toledo Public School documents.
Willie Braggs, a social studies teacher at Jones, said he remembers Mr. Vang as a student. "He was in my class in 1982 and he seemed like a pretty good student," Mr. Braggs said. "It was a real shock [to hear of the shootings]."
A wave of Laotian refugees was brought to the Toledo area in 1979 and the early 1980s. They were resettled here with the help of church groups and other local sponsors. It was not clear yesterday when Mr. Vang's family came to Toledo or when they left.
By 1994, only about 35 Hmong families remained in the area, largely because many families moved to other cities where there were more jobs available and larger concentrations of others in their ethnic group.
About 24,000 Hmong live in St. Paul.

LOL! well, just don't look in the mirror.
We also don't suffer fools well either!
there are also full blown whackos like me...:)
You have no idea what would have happened. If he had killed the police don't you think he would have hunted down and killed any witnesses as he did?
That means that the hunters would have died even if they had called the police.

CD, the 'muslim wars' have just commenced. I got your back, Fellow American. I don't give a rat's rearend about your race, CD. If you're an American, I'll fight to support you, 100%.
I don't disparage your service in The KW; don't do that to mine in VN, and we'll share the same foxhole.
Any problems?
Should we send him to the DU for a lesson in REAL incivility?
I know..we have to have spice.
It's just a comment- he threw out several thoughts. I'll agree that was a bit lame, but "blaming" the victim? Nah, not really. Who knows what words were exchanged? None of what was or wasn't said was a reason/excuse to shoot anyone over, I'm sure we all agree on that.
I've been through live-fire exercises...close enough for me.
WE DON'T KNOW!..I wish we cold go back in time and bring these people back but they are dead and it is horrible.
You only call the "law" for permission to clean up the crime scene.
The "law" aint going to help you survive the actual situation.
Chances are, when the "law" eventually shows up, they are very uninterested in justice, law, or basic issues of right and wrong.
How can you possibly know this? You said you're in Mississippi.
We are talking about the North Woods here. There isn't a Game Warden on every corner. It's quite possible they would have had to go 10-15 miles to a check point,,, if they were lucky to have one that close.
With all due respect, it appears you don't have a clear understanding of this situation. You are always welcome to state your opinion, but without firsthand experience, you're not going to gather much of a following here if you keep telling us about hunting conditions in an area where you've never set foot.
Stating that they would be alive if they did this or that is not possible. Which is why you shouldn't.
