Lord forbid some doggone fool went out there and gathered up (or stole) rifles from the dead people.

This occurred to me initially, as well. But Vang's statement doesn't indicate that there was more than one other weapon initially.

Regardless of what happened, chasing down fleeing targets and returning to the scene to shoot more people isn't going to go over well even if he was truly antagonized and shot at first and felt the need to defend himself.

But if you were being shot at would you stop to take a scope off the rifle before shooting back?

I read the statement. I will gladly be on the jury, and trip the switch that gives him a little shock. Then I want to kick the stool out from under him and watch the rope get tight around his neck.
I have horses, so we can draw and quarter him too. I game for anything else anyone else can come up with too.
This puke needs to die very slowly, very painfully!!!!!!!!
He kills people in cold blood and then wants to justify it by saying that someone call him a bad name. I do not buy the part about on of his victims shooting at him first, I do not think they would have missed.

Notice that he later confronts, and shoots, a couple of guys with rifles. Where are their weapons? In fact, have they even recovered their bodies?

I wonder if Vang was the only shooter that day.

No it won't but then you have to consider that those folks were on ATV's & Vang was apparently on foot.
