Vang is from Stockton, CA where many of his people settled after VN. Many younger Hmong boys and girls were notorious gang members in town and feared as violent types (as per my policeman neighbor). Vang claims the hunters fired on him first and he returned fire. That seems unlikely if he is also a perp in another murder.
