Services Set For Officers Killed In Iowa

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- A funeral has been scheduled for the second Iowa police officer who was fatally shot in an ambush-style attack while sitting in his police vehicle.

Des Moines police said Friday that a visitation for Sgt. Anthony Beminio will be held Sunday afternoon in West Des Moines. His funeral is set for Monday morning.

The 38-year-old Beminio was killed about 20 minutes after 24-year-old Urbandale Officer Justin Martin was fatally shot less than 2 miles away.

Martin's funeral is scheduled for Tuesday in his hometown of Rockwell City.

The suspect, 46-year-old Scott Michael Greene, was charged Thursday with two counts of first-degree murder.
