Story summary

Shane Seiber, a 40-year-old Philadelphia police officer, was killed on October 10 after being shot three times while responding to a call about a man with a gun in West Philadelphia. His partner, a 33-year-old father of five, survived after being shot twelve times but is now in stable condition. Both officers were initially shot shortly after midnight when they arrived at the scene and encountered heavy gunfire from Eric Lewis. Lewis fled the scene before being found hiding in a tree by a SWAT team.

Governor Josh Shapiro ordered flags to fly at half-mast for Seiber, who was the 376th officer killed in the line of duty since 1851 according to the Officer Down Memorial Page. The incident has sparked discussions about police safety and the role of law enforcement in protecting communities. Eric Lewis has a criminal history dating back to 2012, including weapons offenses from 2015.
