Urbandale Iowa: 2 Iowa police officers killed in a separate ambush-style assaults early this morning.
Authorities in Iowa have identified the suspected gunman in the ambush-style attacks early Wednesday morning-- occuring 20 minutes apart-- that claimed the lives of two police officers who were sitting in their patrol cars.
Authorities said Scott Michael Greene, 46, is considered armed and dangerous. He is about 5'11 and 180 pounds and is believed to be driving a blue 2011 Ford F-150 with an Iowa license plate 780 YFR.

“In all appearances it looks just like that, that these officers were ambushed,” Parizek said. “It doesn't look like there was any interaction between these cowards and the officers they shot in their cars.”
Urbandale Sgt. Chad Underwood said his officers are equipped with body cameras, but they are not always on. Schools in Urbandale were closed Wednesday, Fox 25 reported.
Neither police officer was identified by officials and-- as of a 5 a.m.-- police were still notifying family members. Parizek said their names and details about their service would be released later Wednesday.
...
Des Moines police said in a news release earlier that officers responded to a report of shots fired at the intersection of 70th Street and Aurora Avenue at 1:06 a.m., and the first officers to arrive on scene found an Urbandale officer with gunshot wounds.
Des Moines police officers responded to assist and just 20 minutes later, a Des Moines officer was found fatally shot at an intersection about two blocks away.
The Des Moines Register reported that streets at both shooting scenes were closed amid the investigation. Schools in the area were also closing for Wednesday, officials said.
