Police say an argument at a birthday
party preceded the fatal shooting of three brothers and wounding of
a fourth man in Menomonie.


      Police Chief Wayne Stolpa says it appears the gunman targeted at
least two of the victims during the argument about 10:30 p.m.
Saturday at the Evergreen Isle Mobile Park.


      Thirty-two-year-old Toua Kong, 25-year-old Siong Kong, and
13-year-old Seng Kong were fatally shot. A fourth person,
25-year-old Toua Xiong, was wounded. Police say 23-year-old Geu Tou
Vang of St. Paul, Minn., then shot and critically wounded himself.


      Stolpa said Siong and Toua Kong apparently were targeted by the
gunman, while Seng Kong and Xiong likely were struck because they
were near the older Kong brothers.


      Police say the gunman was a guest of a female relative of the
slain men.
