Written by Teunis Felter

Two police officers in the Des Moines, Iowa, area were shot and killed early Wednesday as they sat in their squad cars. “The shootings appear to have been ambush-style attacks,” police spokesman Paul Parizek said in a statement. The first shooting happened shortly after 1 a.m. local time, police say, and the second about 20 minutes later. Authorities say they are “developing suspect information” but have not released any information on a suspect.
