Their story

Chai Soua Vang, more commonly known as Chai Vang, was a Hmong-American man who was convicted of six counts of first degree intentional homicide. Vang, a six-year veteran of the California National Guard, shot eight people while he was trespassing upon a deer hunting group in northern Wisconsin on November 21, 2004; six were killed and two were wounded. The killings were later dubbed the Tree Stand Murders by author David B. Whitehurst.
