Who do I believe / What do I believe happened?

It's certainly possible that the Hmong man just snapped after
being nicely or even crudely/rudely asked to leave. But it seems
more likely to me that a man would have to be provoked pretty
well to take up shooting other men. So, with what is known and
claimed now, I'd guess that the other party went beyond just
pointing out that the Hmong man was on their property and
asking him to leave. ~ Now, if the Hmong man shot them because
he was called names or felt intimidated then, of course, that's
wrong. But if they fired any shot at him, even if just into the
air, then his firing back seems more justified.

About race:
It seems very possible that the whites, the Hmong man, or both
could have had racial tensions driving their actions. But so what?
It's a man's *actions* he should be judged on.

Anyone who insists on looking at this from a racial perspective is only,
in my
opinion, helping establish that it *could have* (not to say it did)
happened
just as the murdering nut job says it did.

Seems you think the guy who did the shootings is a crazy man
and a murdering nut job. But, what if he was shot at first? What would
you do if a group of people with guns were around you and one took
a pot shot at your feet or something? Would you just run hoping
they didn't shoot you? 'cause if they did shoot you, who would tell
your side to the cops? Or would you fire back?
