Minneapolis, MN – After shooting his son to death during an argument about cable television, an 84-year-old man reportedly told police he wasn’t about to settle the matter in some foolish courthouse — nope, he was gonna settle that argument once in for all in the afterlife.
According to police, Pang Se Vang was upset that his son, 36-year-old Chue Vang, refused to have cable television installed in the home they shared. Chue basically told his father that if he didn’t like it, he could move the fuck out. My house, my rules kinda thing….
Anyway, instead of moving out, Pops apparently armed himself with a shotgun and put a new hole in Chue’s chest Monday evening. Another shot was fired when Pang’s eldest son disarmed him, but there were no other injuries.
Left without a gun, Pang locked himself in his room. When police arrived on scene, Pang made it very clear that he was armed with knives. When officers requested that he exit the room with his hands up, Pang responded that he couldn’t, he had stabbed himself in the chest. He wanted to die so he could meet with his son in the afterlife and settle their differences.
After a two hour standoff with SWAT, Pang complied with their demands and exited the home. He was transported to the hospital and treated for self-inflicted knife wounds to the neck, chest and abdomen.
Pang was formally charged with second-degree murder on Thursday, making him the oldest person charged with such in Ramsey County in the last 30 years. Bond has been set at $1 million.
