Chai Soua Vang (born September 24, 1968) is a Hmong American from Laos who was convicted of murder. Vang shot eight people while on a hunting trip in northern Wisconsin on November 21, 2004; six were killed and two were left wounded. Vang acknowledged shooting the people, but challenged the chain of events that caused a dispute over a deer stand to become violent and escalate into multiple deaths. Vang, who lived in Saint Paul, Minnesota at the time of the shootings, is imprisoned at the Iowa State Penitentiary.〔http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/news/2006/04/25/chai-vang-moved-iowa-prison〕 == Personal life == Vang's father served alongside anti-communist forces during the Vietnam War. After the United States made the decision to withdraw troops in 1972, Vang and his family were forced to escape, believing that communist forces would persecute them for their Hmong heritage. Vang and his siblings relocated to the United States in 1980 and settled in California. Vang lived in Sacramento and eventually enlisted in the California National Guard. Vang moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota sometime around 2000. A few years later, he and his family moved to the neighboring city of St. Paul. Vang is the father of six children. He is also a family shaman〔(Reprint of ''New York Times'' article of December 1, 2004 from www.thepowerhour.com, accessed Jun 4, 2006 )〕 and a hunting enthusiast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chai Vang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
