Quote: PC Nicola Hughes, 23, and PC Fiona Bone, 32, were called to Abbey Gardens in Mottram to investigate what turned out to be a false report of a burglary.
Police said it appeared they had been deliberately "drawn" to the scene.
Dale Cregan, 29, has been arrested in connection with the officers' deaths and two previous murders.
He was detained when he walked into Hyde police station a short time after the incident.
Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy said someone had made a call alleging a burglary had been committed and when the officers arrived they were attacked with a gun and a grenade.
He said: "We believe he has made the call, or somebody else has made the call, and it would appear for the purposes of drawing these two officers to that particular scene, and then he has come out and shot and killed them both.
