Sad news this morning.
Police officers from the Des Moines and Urbandale departments responded to a 'shots fired' call a little after 1 a.m. this morning and found an Urbandale officer dead.
Then, about 20 minutes later, a Des Moines police officer was shot and killed near the intersection of Merle Hay Road and Sheridan Avenue while responding to the scene where the Urbandale officer was shot.
Both officers were shot in their patrol cars in what appears to be an ambush. Nearby schools are closed as LE searches for a suspect(s). The slain officers have not yet been publicly identified. RIP.
