Quote:Authorities in Iowa said that two police officers were killed in apparent ambush-style attacks early Wednesday.

Des Moines police Sgt. Paul Parizek said at a press conference that authorities were developing suspect information and has nothing to immediately release.

“In all appearances it looks just like that, that these officers were ambushed,” he said. “It doesn't look like there was any interaction between these cowards and the officers they shot in their cars.”

Des Moines police said in a news release earlier that officers responded to a report of shots fired shortly after 1 a.m. and the first officers to arrive on scene found an Urbandale officer wounded.

Des Moines police officers responded to assist and about 25 minutes later a Des Moines officer had been shot at an intersection about two blocks away.

Both officers died from their injuries sustained in the shootings.

“There's somebody out there shooting police. There is a clear and present danger to police officers right now,” Parizek said.

He's a cracker, and I hope he gets the firing squad.
