Two police officers were shot dead in separate incidents, about 2 miles apart in Iowa. They were both sitting in their cars and had radioed in no incidents.
The suspect, who is now in custody, is a middle-aged white male. He was recently asked to leave a high school football game for waving a Confederate battle flag in front of "people of color" (quotations from original article) during the national anthem. He continued outside the school, and claimed his First Amendment rights were being trampled.
Both police officers were also white.
This seems to me to be a perfect example of the sort of rage being encouraged by Trump's racist rantings. I'm sure that it will be glossed over by many people though, unless they can find some "mentally ill" tag to hang on the killer. That's the only way white men are allowed to be killers, or at least cop killers.
