Five people, one a woman and one a teenage boy, were killed following a dispute over the use of a tree stand. Chai Vang, 36, of St. Paul was arrested several hours after the shootings and is being held in the Sawyer County Jail.

What the hell kind of name is "Chai Vang"?

Five people, one a woman and one a teenage boy, were killed following a dispute over the use of a tree stand.

These news reports are misleading. According to local law enforcement, there was no "dispute". The killer was observed in a tree stand on private property. He was asked to leave. He then climbed down from the tree stand, walked off some 40 yards, turned, and opened fire.

I grew up in Wisconsin This was never heard of before... accidential shooting yes, but this as a trespassing dispute is horrible... I have not read anywhere where any of the hunters had even threatened this guy, much less return fire.

Koob said the men were shot with a high-powered assault rifle from a range of about 50 yards.

I suspect they were shot with a deer rifle, not an assault rifle. You don't see all that many assault rifles up in the tree stands.

I believe Mr. Vang had some Issues with a capital "I".

I've never heard of anybody using an SKS as a hunting rifle, either, but, hey, whatever works I guess. I didn't think they were accurate enough.

Now the Wisconsin taxpayers will get doubly screwed, paying for this upcoming media circus trial, paying for Hmong translators and for Chai Vang's lifetime room and board in prison

You don't go deer hunting with a clip, He was hunting humans.
