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.

No because most people when they have something like this and the challenge someone that is on their property expect the trespasser to leave not engage in a firefight.
yeah the simple fact is that Vang was wrong. He committed several criminal acts regardless of what the hunters did.
you seem to have missed the fact again that the police were called, but then again you are using only fact that will support you ideas. Most people don't expect to engage in gun play when confronting another human.
HOLY TOLEDO..............MY HOMETOWN......JAKE
Your concept of bravery has reached new highs.
Have they tied him to that '91 shooting, 80 miles away, yet?
man you are really losing it. The police did not show up till after the shooting had occured. The call to the police occured prior to the shooting. So in the space between when the cops were called, and they arrived the shooting too place. the police did not show up unarmed, by the time the police did show up Vang had already left the area.
not that i had read yet.
CD,

"No idea what this is..."
"Kitties" this is a reference to Free Republic's VIKING KITTIES.
We Expose TROLLS, Have Some KITTY Fun then ZOT Em and The Board Moderators Remove Them Permanently.
When The VIKING KITTIES are called IN...things get Serious.
Have A Nice Stay.
What happened to the part where you so bravely kick him when he's hadcuffed?
Perhaps a meeting with the kitties can be arranged... would you like that?
To qoute a Montgomery Gentry song... "You do your thing, I'll do mine"
In the words of Dan Rather to that old crazy woman, "take a breath..."
You sound as though you take this advice literally and follow it liberally. My advice to you is to exhale at least as often to make the brain function well.
