And once again, Iowans are left to hug each other while gundamentalists hug their guns.

Emotional act of kindness brings Iowa police officer to tears

The video starts with a woman clasping one hand with an Iowa police officer. Her other hand delivers the officer a case of bottled water.

"I can't even imagine," she said, her voice breaking. "This is the only thing I know ... how to help ... is to feed."

The 40-second clip, from Des Moines television station KCCI, has traveled quickly across social media, with people moved by the emotional, gracious moment. The video comes in the wake of the fatal shooting of an Urbandale police officer and a Des Moines police officer in apparent "ambush style" attacks early Wednesday.

Scott Michael Greene is suspected of ambushing the two metro-area police officers who were shot and killed. Police have brought Greene, 46, into custody.

"I want you guys to be hydrated and not be hungry," the woman tearfully told the officer. "And I want you to come home to your families, because I want my dad to come home to me. And I want my friends to come home to me. And I'm sorry."

"And I'm here for you all. I don't know how else to help or what else to do," she continued.

The clip shows a tear streaming down the officer's cheek as the two embraced.

"Thank you," the officer said.
