Officers found Chang in the backyard, but he refused to obey their commands and brandished the ax at them, Spanheimer said. He said officers were told by Chang's relatives that he may have had access to a rifle and ammunition hidden in the house, Spanheimer said... More than six hours after the standoff began, the SWAT team used a flash-bang grenade in hopes of getting Chang to come out of the home, then made their way inside, at which point Chang stabbed one of the officers with a knife, police said.
