beminio was shot at a stop signs he died at a local hospital. des moines police spokesman paul parizek. >> they were ambushed. it's nothing less than a slaughter. these officers had no idea what was to come. >> reporter: by 9:25 a.m. police had 46-year-old scott michael greene in custody.mi greene had flagged down a state employee, showed him his i.d.ee and asked him to call 9-1-1. he was arrested without incident and taken to a hospital after saying he felt sick. po b rifle to execute the lawmen. >> i think he had full awareness of what he was doing when he killed those officers. the way that this happened isn't something that seems spur of the moment. >> reporter: greene has a history of harassment. just two weeks ago he waved a we confederate flag at a high school football game. this video shot by greene shows police asking him to leave. >> have i committed a crime? >> you're on private property. you're on school property. we're asking you to leave at this time. >> reporter: justin martin was just 24 years old.

39-year-old anthony beminio, a father of three, had been promoted to sergeant after more than ten years at the des moines police department. >> we don't think these officers were specifically targeted because they were justin martin and tony beminio. >> this is the only thing they know, how to help. >> reporter: at the crime scene in urbandale this morning, there was a moment of gratitude for the police.at >> and i want you to go home to your families because i want my dad to come home to me and i a want my friends to come home to me. he >> reporter: the suspect has not yet been charged criminally and a motive is unknown. authorities say it's entirelyy possible the gunman didn't really know the two officers he ambushed, but he was well-knownn to law enforcement in this area through previous run-ins. scott, one officer told us a short time ago, this guy has been a thorn in our side for a long time. >> pelley: david begnaud in iowa.th david, thank you. hillary clinton tweeted that she is heartbroken for the families of the officers, and donaldff trump tweeted today that they

the long presidential campaign is finally down to six days. we have two reports on the strategies for the homestretch, and first we'll go to nancy cordes covering clinton. >> reporter: to win in florida, clinton needs to generate obama- level enthusiasm, especially from african americans, who made up a quarter of the state's early voting electorate when he was on the ballot in 2012. so far this year that rate is off by about seven points. >> reporter: today the president and clinton made the rounds again on predominantly black radio stations. >> reporter: in battleground north carolina, african american early voting rates are bouncing back from a slow start after republicans there imposed strict limits on the number of urban polling places during first week

ng folks were beaten trying to register voters. >> reporter: in chapel hill today, mr. obama issued this dire new warning about a trump presidency. >> i hate to put a little pressure on you, but the fate of the republic rests on your shoulders. >> reporter: the latino vote will also be key for clinton, and there the numbers are far better. in florida, hispanic early voting is up 139% from thisin point in 2012, driven in part by trump's comments about mexicans. >> i mean, he starts out by he moves on to insult all latinos, insults african american, insults muslims, insults people withop disabilities. >> reporter: president obama came to clinton's aid on another front today, criticizing the f.b.i. director for alerting congress about new e-mails in the clinton case that may or may not be significant. the president said the f.b.i.

in information." scott? >> pelley: nancy cordes on the campaign trail for us tonight. now let's go to major garrett, who is covering the trump campaign. >> get out there and vote. pretend we're slightly behind. you got to get out. we don't want to blow this. >> reporter: donald trump is running like an underdog even as new polls show the race in florida is essentially tied. for a second day, he warned that a hillary clinton presidency could be mired in congressional and possibly criminal investigations. >> if hillary clinton were to be elected, it would create anpr unprecedented and protracted constitutional crisis. haven't we just been through a lot with the clintons? right? >> reporter: despite the public polling, trump's team believes it has surged ahead here. it also believes it has drawn even in upper midwest states like michigan and wisconsin. in eau claire last night, trump made a play for voters who cast

what he called "buyers' remorse." >> a lot of stuff has come out since your vote. >> reporter: at least four states allow early voters toto withdraw their ballots and re- vote, but state officials say the practice is rarely used. still, trump's pitch speaks to the campaign's buoyancy in the final week. it was also visible in the roughly $600,000 investment in three trump commercials slated to air nationally during tonight's game seven of the world series. >> everyday people stand united, broken politics with a new leader who is not a part of the system. >> reporter: trump continues to raise money, $2 million this morning in miami from wealthy republican donors, a whopping $100 million in the month of october through small dollar donations. scott, we're told the republican national committee and the trump campaign have fully funded their field operations and every remaining dollar from now until election day will be plowed into trump tv commercials. >> pelley: major garrett for us.

>> p campaign 2016 team will bring you live election night coverage next tuesday at 7:00 eastern time. tonight, we are listening to millennial voters, many of them voting for the first time. clinton has a 28-point lead among them in a poll by harvard's institute of politics. more than half say they aree fearful about the future. elaine quijano gathered a group ages 18 to 34 from 12 states. they met at the youtube space in new york city for our campaign 2016 series "closing arguments." >> i'm a very proud conservative, but i don't thinkn that donald trump represents the republican party. >> i'm 20 years old. i'm an unapologetic american and full-blown trump supporter. >> i'm 19. i'll vote for gary johnson. >> i'm 27 and i'm with her. >> i'm not with her and i don't support hillary clinton. >> i say i'm a trump supporter.t

x we automatically jump to conclusions a trump supporter is a bad, uneducated supporter. >> he says a lot of stuff i 100% do not agree with, but at the same time, i don't want to support a liar. >> reporter: how many of you here have had college debt or you will soon have college debt? student debt? >> by the time i'm finished witn my education, i'm going to have over $200,000 in debt. in order to get a better career, you're forced into higher education, forced into this debt. i don't think really either candidate has posed a goodgo enough stance. >> reporter: i want to turn to another topic here and that is the issue of civil rights. a recent poll found that 85% of young african americans and 72% of hispanics believe their race is under attack in the u.s. i wonder why do you think thatac is?

something that's really dear toy my heart because i was robbedot and shot in my head. if that wasn't enough, i look up and i was staring down the barrel of another gun. this time it wasn't the barrel of a gun from someone else trying to rob me, this time i was looking down the barrel of the police. >> reporter: let me ask you, you're the son of a former police officer, is that right?e >> he actually recently retired. i think there are bad police officers. you know, there are plenty of corrupt police officers, but iut think obama has not done a decent job at helping the african american community, and i think hillary clinton is part of that. but i do support our police. >> on the comment about police officers versus the black lives matter, the african american community, you have a choice to be a cop. you sign that. you go to training for that.oi you have no choice being black. and trump has normalized this talk and put a lot of lives in

hasn't been in the white house, so to say that trump tore our country apart at the seams and created this racial division, in way. president obama was the one who is in the white house for eight years, and race relations have been worse than ever in this country. let's look at who is in office. an african american man who has torn apart this country. we need the look at that. >> to say that race relations have gotten as bad as they've ever been under president obama shows a lack of historical depth. america is built on racial rhetoric, this otherism, plays on that narrative that has long been the narrative of american society. >> reporter: while there weree passionate disagreements, one issue united this group, debt. many told me they can't repay their student loans, which meanw they're putting off decisions like buying a house or starting a family, and, scott, they'rett looking for answers from these candidates. >> pelley: elaine quijano listening to the voters tonight. elaine, thank you.

fascinating conversation with millennial voters on our cbs news youtube channel and on our streaming service, cbsn. police are investigating a fire last night at a predominantly african american church in greenville, mississippi, last night.rc someone spray painted "vote trump" on the hopewell baptist church. there are no suspects, but the mayor is calling it a hate crime. a complaint has been filed withe the federal election commission broke campaign finance laws with fraudulent donations to politicians, mostly democrats. the case was turned up in a joint investigation by "the boston globe" and the center for responsive politics. tony dokoupil has details. >> reporter: the thornton law firm has ten partners, but dollar for dollar it's one ofor the nation's biggest political donors. according to the firm's own donnels leaked by a whistle- blower days or hours after

amount they gave. >> once the law firm knew we had these records, they didn't deny that this was the case. b >> reporter: scott allen is the "globe"'s spotlight editor. so hundreds and hundreds of times a lawyer would donate money to a candidate or political party, and then almost immediately be given back that very same sum.a >> that's correct. >> reporter: if you give ak donation and then somebody else reimburses you for the donation that's a clear violation of the spirit and the letter of the law at the federal and state level.n >> reporter: federal law limits r partnerships like the thornton law firm to a maximum donation of $2,700 per candidate. thornton is alleged to have made donations above that limit by using a straw donor system, using the firm's own money, but making it appear it was from individual partners. viveca novak is with the center for responsive politics. >> straw donor reimbursement systems are something that both the f.e.c. and the department ot justice take very seriously. and people have gone to jail for this.

three of the firm's partners from 2010 to 2014. the trio donated $1.6 million, mostly to democrats. over the same period, they received back $1.4 million in bonuses. a thornton spokesperson said the donations were legal because they came out of each partner's ownership stake in the firm. it was a voluntary program,o thornton stated, involving the partner's own personal after-tax money. thornton donated to dozens of democrats, including some of the most hotly contested senate races. some of those democrats, including hillary clinton, said they'd be returning donations, but, scott, thornton told us ito hired an outside firm to review its political donations and that it has complied with election law. >> pelley: tony dokoupil, thank you. coming up next on the "cbse evening news," tumbling oilbl prices mean less school for some kids. er derby.

since 2014. this year the state faced a $1.3 billion deficit and cut $34 million in education funding. but critics say that's in part due to years of giving tax breaks to oil companies, rates as low as 1% during the boom,th while the going rate in north dakota was 11.5%. nearly one-third of oklahomama school districts in mostly poor, rural areas, have had to shorten the school week. >> knowing that we don't have enough money to keep the lights on and the buses running, it's e just an outrage. >> reporter: audra cornett has two children in inola schools. she's also a teacher here. >> their whole future depends on the quality of education they receive at these young ages, an i don't see them being ready in the way that we have been able to prepare them before. on their very first day of school. >> reporter: so she opened this
