Authorities took him to a local hospital for treatment. And tonight, many people who knew the two officers are remembering them. Tv nines jordee kalk joins us on the story. Jordee, one of the officers was from eastern iowa. I spoke to classmates and former teachers of from iowa city west before going onto simpson college. They tell me they will remember tony as a giant force on the football field. And friends say these protective instincts carried over to his life as a Police Officer. 6 55, our group of seniors, that class of 96, had a pretty special bond. Especially when it came to what we could do on and off the football field. Tony beminio transferred to Iowa West High School as a sophomore. Friendss became a standout athlete, particularly on the gridiron. 59 36, people just kind of ran behind him he plowed the way. Hes left a legacy at the high school, with his own portrait on the Athletic Hall of fame. Beminio was a state champion wrestler. But friends say he took the most pride in playing on the 1995 Football Team. 59 27, definitely competitive definitely knew what he wanted to do and he Football Team turned around. The 1995 iowa west team took the state title that year. Coaches say much of that credit goes to beminio. 17 42, the program turned around during their time in high school going from a team that was a laughing stock of the conference to a state champion team. The boys had a record of 13 and 0 that season. 18 09, they truly had that bond where the guy next to him was the most important guy in their lives. Those who knew him say this discipline carried over into beminios life as Police Officer. 17 20, trying to be a public servent and work hard to they should have been done the 39yearold had been with the Des Moines Police department for 11 years. Beminio wanted to follow in his dads footsteps, who was also a cop. 00 42, makes sense he would take a job like that friends say beminio would want to be remembered explain what it meant to everyone involved it was pretty special and to lose somebody from that just makes it that much more difficult current hawkeye football defensive line coach reese morgan was the west high coach for that 1995 team. I spoke with coach morgan just a few moments ago and he told me hes deeply saddened about beminos death. He also says beminio was an unforgettable guy. Bruce and beth . Thanks, jordee.
