The Hillary Clinton campaign cancelled a Wednesday event in Iowa with Bill Clinton and vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine in light of the news that two police officers in the state were shot to death overnight.

"Due to the tragic shooting of Des Moines and Urbandale police officers last night, the Des Moines Get Out the Vote event with Tim Kaine, President Bill Clinton, and Ben Harper at the Des Moines Social Club has been canceled," the campaign said in an email.

Police in Iowa say that two officers were shot and killed early Wednesday morning while they were sitting in patrol cars.

1. Quite appropriate

2. I just hope Agent Orange doesn't try to politicize this.

6. Agreed. But many surrogates will play the "breakdown of law and order" card.

And I fully expect that this will impel some timid and undecided voters to embrace the authoritarianism that Trump represents and promises. I hope I'm wrong.

7. If he does, he will continue to expose his insanity

3. Two police officers shot in their squad cars.

By an "alleged" government hating. cop-hating, confederate flag waving, ardent Trump supporter.

4. Respectful. Let the police force focus

So sad.

5. The article, I read in the USA today said the man was white

So Cheeto won't be able to say "another black thug killed our police".

9. Looks like killer is an alt-right nut who had his fee-fees hurt when cops took his Confederate flag.

A 10-minute video posted on YouTube last month by a user calling himself Scott Greene showed an interaction with officers following an incident at a sports stadium in which he described holding up a Confederate battle flag during the playing of the U.S. national anthem. He is heard claiming that he was assaulted.

10. Looks like instead Clinton will campaign in Las Vegas Wednesday.

Take the burden of the Iowa police and keep driving the GOTV effort in another battleground state.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will campaign in Las Vegas Wednesday
