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.

"He was always such a good boy..."
the phrase most often used to describe murderers.
If it it was a "real shock" to his teacher, immagine how the victims families feel.
I hate this kind of stuff.
The cretin murdered the guys.
Thank God, one survived to tell us the facts.
Get the rope.
More blame the victim BS....
My wife worked the WIC (Women-Infants-Children) food program back when this wave was imported. Our town was the destination of several thousand. Within a few months they were gone. She found out from several of them that the welfare was better in Minnesota. So they packed up and moved there. Good riddance.
Feel free to dial 911 and die if you wish. For a trespassing call it's likely to take hours for them to show up, if they do at all. The guy had already been shot, when he called for help. They did as you suggested, and six are dead. Acording to the survivors, all they did was tell him it was private property, and ask him to leave.
Do you think we should have just called the UN after 9/11, and waited for them to take care of it?
The people who live in this area are pretty independent, self-sufficient, not accustomed to calling "the government" for help all the time. Combine that with being out in the boonies they don't have the "instinct" to call for help, they take care of their own.
PING
Thank you, Roccus.
Welcome to FR
I wanted to get that in because the way you think, you're not long for this planet
If the victims thought like him they'd still be on this planet.
Why don't you FReepmail me your address so I can come and help myself to your property. You can dial 911 and wait while I leave.
