After two domestic situations involving members of the Hmong community escalated to violence in Catawba County in the last month, the United Hmong Association is preparing to address the issue at a clan meeting this Sunday. On Wednesday, Paul Vang was killed after police say he shot his wife, Sandy Vang, and Xao Vue in the Gateway Plaza parking lot. A month earlier, Conover Police say Fong Kong Yang stabbed his common law wife Lao Vang and her boyfriend Keng Chang on April 6 at V.I.P. Coin Laundry in Conover. Vang died after the attack. “This is sad. Two incidences in the same year, with the same thing,” Khue Khang, former executive director of the United Hmong Association, said. “This is very hurtful to the (Hmong) community to hear of another incident.” |

A man was shot by police on Wednesday night after shooting his wife and another man, authorities said. The shooting happened about 10 p.m. in the Gateway Plaza parking lot near Barnes & Noble in Hickory. Paul Vang, 47, of Conover had already shot Xao Vue in the head and shot his wife, Sandy Vang, as an officer arrived responding to the 911 call, Capt. Thurman Whisnant said. She was shot at least twice in the lower portion of her body before Hickory Police Officer Jonathan Barnes returned fire and shot Vang. “(Paul Vang) was the aggressor throughout the incident,” Whisnant said. |
