This thread states that the Hmong who did kill people stated that he did so in self-defense because of racial epithets and they took a shot at him. That might not be the case, but according to the earlier thread, that statement went along with the racial slurs.

There was never any indication that a shot was fired at Chai Vang and that he was acting in self defence. I've no doubt there were epithets, he'd been thrown off the same piece of private land the year before. And for whatever reason, tresspassed again. Also had skipped a court date for tresspassing in Green County.

Chai Vang hunted several of those people down like prey after he shot his second or third victims. IIRC, four were shot in the BACK.

He was trespassing on private property (posted as such), they told him to leave. There was an argument after that and he killed 6 people and tried to kill the two others who were present.
