Vang says he was approached by Terry Willers, a co-owner of the property, who asked him to leave and then radioed friends in a cabin nearby. Vang says that as he was leaving the area, the others arrived, surrounded him and taunted him with racial insults. When he finally was able to walk about 100 ft. away, he says, Willers, the only one of the group Vang saw with a rifle, fired a shot, which...
...Vang went after him and shot him in the shoulder. Robert Crotteau, 42, and his son Joey, 20, ran from the scene but were chased by Vang, who shot them both, hitting Joey in the back. While Vang was pursuing the Crotteaus, the injured Hesebeck radioed the cabin for more help.

...test pilot Brian Binnie each had a good four minutes of weightlessness with nothing to do. Both took digital-camera snapshots through the portholes. Melvill scattered a handful of M&M's and watched them float. Binnie took out a tiny model of SpaceShipOne and flew it around the cabin. Then that crazy hinge raises the wings, Earth's gravity kicks in, and SpaceShipOne becomes a glider. "It's like falling into a feather bed," says Melvill...
