Police: Man who killed 3 brothers has died
MENOMONIE — Police say the gunman suspected of fatally shooting three brothers at a birthday party in western Wisconsin died today at an area hospital.
Menomonie Police Lt. Chris Langlois says Geu Tou Vang died at Luther Midelfort Hospital in Eau Claire about 8:45 a.m.
The 23-year-old St. Paul, Minn., man was accused of killing 32-year-old Toua Kong, 25-year-old Siong Kong, and 13-year-old Seng Kong during an argument at the Evergreen Isle trailer park Saturday night. A fourth person, 25-year-old Toua Xiong, was wounded before Vang shot himself.
Police say Vang was a guest of a female relative of the slain men.
A woman who identified herself as the owner of the trailer court where the shootings occurred ordered a reporter from The Associated Press off the property and threatened to call police.

Sannio, there are a lot of people who kill because they are just horrible people. Well, if a person would kill all your family the way this guy did I am pretty sure you would feel that it was just that he died.

My thoughts as a father of 2 boys go to the parents who lost all three sons to a tragedy. God speed

Sounds allot like a gang banger. They were at a party, it says he came with a relative of the victims, maybe they did not get along. My guess is if he was able to shoot all three brothers they must have been in close proximity to him like they confronted him and he snapped.

Would a sane, rational, emotionally healthy person do this? If not, what is he, sick? If so, did he really get what he deserved? Was the judgment just?
