CBS Shooting Suspect Had Army Service Ribbon For Sharpshooting
Nov 23, 2004 6:19 pm US/Central
St. Paul (AP) The man suspected in the shooting deaths of six Wisconsin hunters spent six years in the California National Guard, and earned a
sharpshooter qualification badge, according to military records obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.
Chai Soua Vang also earned an expert qualification badge for hand grenade during his time in the Guard, from 1989 to 1995.
But his primary role for the Guard in Sacramento was as a "patient administration specialist," a mostly clerical role. After his discharge, he spent two more years in the Individual Ready Reserve.

Lt. Jonathan Shiroma, a spokesman for the California Guard, said sharpshooter is a middle qualification level for a basic trainee, above marksman but below expert.
The sharpshooter qualification requires hitting 30 to 35 out of 40 targets at distances ranging from 50 to 300 meters, Shiroma said.
Shiroma said trainees have to shoot at least at the marksman level to make it out of basic training. Dov Schwartz, an Army spokesman in Washington, said
the qualification was "not an extraordinarily special thing" for a shooter.
Since moving to Minnesota, Vang appears to have led a quiet life, playing soccer and raising roosters at the St. Paul home he shared with his family. He wasn't widely known in the city's Hmong community.
Acquaintances viewed him as cordial, but his past includes a brush with Minneapolis police after Vang threatened his wife with a gun.
