On Saturday morning in West Philadelphia, a police officer named Shane Seiber, aged 40 and a ten-year veteran, was fatally shot by a suspect identified as Eric Lewis; another officer was injured but stabilized after surgery. The shooting occurred when officers responded to reports of a man with a gun. Governor Josh Shapiro ordered flags to half-mast in honor of Officer Seiber, who leaves behind his wife and two children. According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, this makes him at least the 376th Philadelphia police officer to die on duty since 1851 and the 129th from gunfire.
