费城消息：据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）10月10日报道，费城一名警员当天凌晨在西费城执勤时遭枪击殉职，另一名警员身受重伤，嫌疑人已被拘留并被控谋杀。
事发于10月10日凌晨刚过午夜。费城警察局长凯文·贝塞尔在新闻发布会上介绍，两名警员接到报警，称西费城北52街100号街区一处门廊有一名持枪男子。当两人走上门廊台阶时，枪手突然开火。
殉职警员为40岁的肖恩·塞伯，在费城警察局服务10年。他身中三枪，送医后不治。贝塞尔说："他英勇战斗，但今天失去了生命。"塞伯的妻子在临终前赶到医院陪伴在他身边，他还留下一个7岁的儿子和一个3岁的女儿。
塞伯的搭档、33岁的警员身中12枪，接受手术后情况稳定，但贝塞尔表示"尚未脱离危险"。据Action News报道，这名受伤警员是五个孩子的父亲。
地区检察官拉里·克拉斯纳表示，嫌疑人为35岁的埃里克·刘易斯。据《费城问询报》报道，刘易斯是费城市水务局雇员。他在行凶后逃往附近小巷继续向增援警员开枪，最终爬上一棵树躲藏，特警赶到后他缴械投降。警方在现场缴获三支枪械。刘易斯被控谋杀及谋杀执法人员等罪名。
费城市长谢丽尔·帕克表示已慰问两名警员的家属。据报道，今年以来全美已有31名执法人员在执勤中被杀害。费城警方表示案件仍在调查中。（配图来源：维基共享资源，开放授权）
Philadelphia: Officer Killed in Line of Duty, Suspect Charged with Murder
PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia police officer was fatally shot in the line of duty early Saturday in West Philadelphia, while his partner was seriously wounded. A suspect is in custody and has been charged with murder, CNN reported on October 10.
Just after midnight on October 10, the two officers responded to a report of a man with a gun on a porch in the 100 block of North 52nd Street. As they climbed the steps to the porch, the gunman opened fire, Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said at a news conference.
Officer Shane Seiber, 40, a 10-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, was shot three times and died at the hospital. "He fought valiantly, but he lost his life today," Bethel said. Seiber's wife was by his side before he died; he is survived by a 7-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter.
Seiber's partner, a 33-year-old officer, was shot 12 times and underwent surgery. He was in stable condition Saturday, though Bethel said he is "not out of the woods yet." According to Action News, the wounded officer is a father of five.
District Attorney Larry Krasner said the suspect, 35-year-old Eric Lewis, faces charges including murder and homicide of a law enforcement officer. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Lewis works for the Philadelphia Water Department. He fled to a nearby alley, fired at responding officers, and eventually surrendered after SWAT officers found him hiding in a tree. Police recovered three firearms at the scene.
Mayor Cherelle Parker said she spoke with the victims' families. Thirty-one law enforcement officers have been feloniously killed in the line of duty so far this year nationwide, according to the FBI. The investigation continues. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons, openly licensed.)
