Sioux Falls Police are mourning the loss of two Des Moines, Iowa officers.

"It's just another tragic reminder of how dangerous law enforcement can be," Sioux Falls Police Spokesman Sam Clemens told us.

"Our thoughts go out to the Des Moines police department with their loss. Once arrangements are made we will likely be sending some officers out there to show our support."

Clemens says police officers throughout the country realize how difficult the profession can be.

"Yes it is a rewarding job. There are a lot of positives to it. But, there is an inherent danger involved with law enforcement. I think most officers are aware of that."

Des Moines police say the suspect in the killing of the police officers is now in custody.
