DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Latest on two officers in the Des Moines, Iowa, area who were killed in what authorities describe as ambush-style attacks (all times local):

11:20 a.m.

Police say a man suspected in the killings of two Des Moines area officers surrendered to a state Department of Natural Resources officer.

Des Moines police Sgt. Paul Parizek says Scott Michael Greene flagged down the officer Wednesday morning in rural Dallas County, west of Des Moines, and presented his identification.

He was taken into custody and is now being treated at a Des Moines hospital.

Greene is suspected in the shooting deaths of Urbandale officer Justin Martin, with the force since 2015, and Sgt. Anthony “Tony” Beminio, who joined the department in Des Moines in 2005.

Martin was single. Beminio was married with children.

Parizek says Greene is suspected in the killings but hasn’t yet been charged.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Prosecutors say six Kansas City-area residents are facing federal charges for allegedly using online dating advertisements to set up armed robberies.

The Kansas City Star reports three of the defendants were charged in June. On Tuesday, a federal grand jury indicted those three and three others.

Prosecutors say the suspects placed ads on sites such as Craiglist, Backpage and Skout. People who answered the ads were robbed at gunpoint.

Those indicted were 32-year-old Kenneth Sexson and 33-year-old Nicole Covey, also known as Nicole Waguespack or Nicole Preston, both of Sugar Creek; 35-year-old Sage Harrison, 21-year-old Devon Davis-Aumua, and 23-year-old Serina Campos, all of Independence; and 34-year-old Ray Mahurin, of Blue Springs. They are charged in an 11-count indictment from armed robberies in the Kansas City area.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Police in Des Moines, Iowa, say two officers who were killed in ambush-style attacks were both shot while they were sitting in their patrol cars.

Des Moines Police Sgt. Paul Parizek said Wednesday that authorities are developing suspect information but there was nothing that authorities were ready to share with the public.

Parizek was emotional during a news conference. He says there is “clearly danger” right now for police officers in the area because the officers were gunned down while sitting in their cars doing nothing wrong. He says the department has doubled up its officers to better protect them.

The first officer, an Urbandale officer, was shot about 1:06 a.m. About 20 minutes later, a Des Moines officer was found shot about 2 miles away.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A monthly survey of business leaders suggests the economy will continue slowing in nine Midwest and Plains states, in part because of manufacturing weakness.

The Mid-America Business Conditions Index report released Tuesday says the overall economic index for the region dropped to 43.8 in October from September’s 45.5.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he says “weakness among manufacturers linked to agriculture and energy continue to weigh on regional economic conditions.”

The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests growth in that factor. A score below that suggests decline.

The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal trial is underway in a wrongful-death lawsuit against Ferguson police over the 2011 stun-gun death of a naked, unarmed black man.

Testimony began Tuesday in Jason Moore’s family’s case against the St. Louis suburb, its former police chief and officer Brian Kaminski.

The lawsuit says the 31-year-old Moore was suffering from a psychological disorder when police confronted him as he ran naked down a street yelling “God is good” and “I am Jesus.”

The lawsuit alleges Kaminski used excessive force by repeatedly using a stun gun on Moore. Defense attorneys say Moore was combative and didn’t comply with officers’ commands.

Moore died three years before the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black and unarmed, thrust Ferguson into the spotlight over police treatment of minorities.

HESSTON, Kan. (AP) — Authorities have identified the victims of a deadly shooting in rural central Kansas as a registered drug offender, his girlfriend and a friend.

HESSTON, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say three people found shot to death outside a rural home in central Kansas were targeted and not victims of a murder-suicide.

Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton says the victims found Sunday were a 37-year-old woman and two men aged 33 and 52. Walton says the two younger victims were a couple who were friends with the other man. Their names haven’t been released.

Walton said Monday that a passing motorist reported seeing bodies on the driveway of the home in Harvey County, and that there didn’t appear to have been a struggle.

The sheriff says an 18-month-old child found unharmed inside the home is now in the custody of relatives.

There has been no word about arrests or charges.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is assisting.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City police say a 3-year-old boy who died last week was accidentally shot by his 5-year-old brother.

Police say Jermone L. Green was shot Thursday at the townhouse where he lived. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

Investigators are trying to determine how the 5-year-old got hold of the gun. Several adults were inside the residence when the shooting occurred.

The Kansas City Star reports that the case has been forwarded to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, which will determine whether criminal charges will be filed.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — An official with the Kansas secretary of state’s office says it has determined that ballot selfies are legal in the state after all.

Elections Director Bryan Caskey said Monday that the office has re-examined a state law that makes it a felony to disclose a ballot’s contents and concluded it applies to election officials but not voters themselves.

Ballot selfies are illegal in some states. Federal judges have struck down bans in Indiana and New Hampshire.

A secretary of state’s office spokeswoman said earlier this month that taking selfies at a polling place is legal but “a picture of the actual ballot violates Kansas law.”

Caskey said repeated questions led the secretary of state’s office to further review the law.

He says, “There’s not a law that prohibits it.”
