(CNN)Two Iowa police officers were found fatally shot in their squad vehicles at separate intersections in the Des Moines area early Wednesday, and a suspect was taken into police custody following an urgent hunt for him hours later, authorities say.

Scott Michael Greene, 46, of Urbandale, was found on foot late Wednesday morning west of Des Moines in Dallas County, said Des Moines police Sgt. Paul Parizek. Police were taking him to Des Moines; further details about his detention weren't immediately available.

News of Greene's apprehension came more than seven hours after two police officers were found fatally shot at intersections less than 2 miles apart.
Police named Scott Michael Greene, 46, of Urbandale, as a suspect.

"In all appearances it looks ... that these officers were ambushed," Parizek said.
Police discovered the first officer around 1:05 a.m., when someone reported shots being fired. Responding police found the body of an Urbandale officer, still seated in his squad car, at an Urbandale intersection just northwest of Des Moines, Parizek said.
