The Iowa Department of Public Safety says four officers who fired on the man accused of killing a State Trooper on April 9th have been cleared by the Iowa Attorney General’s office.

D-P-S says a Hardin County Sheriff’s Department deputy fired and missed Michael Lang after Trooper Jim Smith was shot and killed by Lang as officers entered his Grundy Center home trying to arrest him. Troopers later used an armored personnel carrier to enter Lang’s home and he was hit three times by officers after they say he fired on them.

All of the officers who fired at Lang were on administrative leave while the A-G investigated the shooting.
