DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — No formal charges have been filed yet against the man suspected of fatally shooting two police officers in Iowa in separate ambush attacks. The man remains hospitalized.

Tony Beminio and Urbandale Police Officer Justin Martin. Urbandale is a suburb of Des Moines.

It's lost about a fifth of its value against the dollar since the June vote to leave the EU.
