The two officers were shot and killed in the town of Urbandale after Greene, 46, approached them, asking them to call 911, police said in a press conference Wednesday. The officers did not have time to "interact with the suspect" or to "defend themselves" before they were fatally shot, police said.
Greene was taken into custody by police later Wednesday morning and brought to a hospital where he remains "sick," the police said. He has not yet been arrested or charged
Sergeant Beminio, 39, who went by Tony, was a father and husband from Urbandale, Iowa. Police did say how many children he had or what their ages are. He had been with the Des Moines Police Department since 2005 and was promoted to sergeant last year.
Justin Martin, who police said was "around 24," was new to the force. He was from Rockwell City, Iowa and an Eagle Scout. He went to Simpson College and was hired by the Urbandale Police Department in 2015. He completed the police academy in December 2015 and was released from a customary probationary period and put out on the street in a one man unit in October. He was unmarried and did not have children.
"We had high expectations for his future that were tragically cut short," police said.
