Police officers were called to 69-year-old Christopher Lang's home in Marion, Iowa for a reported assault. He says three people were hurt by Lang, including a woman who suffered a broken nose.



Some time during the engagement, Lang lunged at officers with a hammer and a broken bottle and couldn't be subdued with a Taser shock. That's when police shot Lang in the right side of his torso. His injuries in Saturday night's shooting aren't believed to be life threatening.

Lang faces several charges, including three counts of assault, in the incident. He has a criminal record.
