Iowa City, Iowa (AP) — The man charged with fatally shooting an Iowa State Patrol sergeant earlier this month was later shot in the head and chest by other state troopers after he opened fire on them, a prosecutor said Monday.
Three Iowa State Patrol troopers and a Hardin County deputy “were entirely legally justified” in shooting at Michael Lang during the April 9 confrontation at Lang’s home in Grundy Center, assistant Iowa attorney general Scott Brown concluded.
41-year-old Lang survived his gunshot wounds. Last week, he was released from University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City and taken into custody. He’s charged with murder in the death of Patrol Sgt. Jim Smith, attempted murder and assaulting a law enforcement officer. Brown is one of the prosecutors on the case, which could send Lang to prison for the rest of his life.
