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.

Can you spell ZOT?
What did you hunt?
The only problem is that these "country" folks from the North Woods didn't "take care of things". They put themselves in a situation where a "city dweller" ended six of their lives and walked away without a scratch. You think the LEO's aren't bothered now?
No problem..I live in Toledo and this case of mistaken identity has gotten a lot of coverage here.
Not suprisingly, it was the CBS affiliate that first broke the mythical "Toledo Connection"
I have very good 'people skills', pal. 3 tours in 'Nam w/ 5th SF, 3rd Btn, '69-'72, honed my 'people skills'.
Mess with me and mine, and your're compost. Any questions?
Here Kitty kitty
You said you'd been hunting but you still haven't said what you'd been hunting for. What did you hunt for when you went hunting?
If he really was Hmong, he won't no city dweller, he was merely living in the city. The Hmong are more country than Hank Williams.
