A 64 year-old Marshfield man faces federal charges after traveling to Madison, allegedly with the goal of killing abortion providers. Ralph Lang’s plans came to nothing on Wednesday. Madison police arrested him for reckless endagnerment after his handgun discharged in a Madison hotel room. The bullet traveled through the door of Lang’s room and into the room across the hall. Lang told the responding officers of his plans. He’ll be in federal court in Madison on Friday, on a charge of attempting to injure, intimidate, and interfere with persons providing reproductive health services.
