PHILADELPHIA —
Philadelphia gathered Tuesday to honor fallen police officer Shane Seiber at a funeral service held at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.
Governor Josh Shapiro spoke during the service, saying, “Shane was truly the very best of us. He had a heart for service and cared deeply about making others’ lives better. He ensured our safety and he defended our freedoms across the globe. He did that by choosing to serve our country honorably in the United States Air Force, including two tours in Iraq. And even after he returned to civilian life, he continued that commitment.”
Seiber’s burial will be private. He is survived by his wife, Lisa, and their two children, a seven-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter.
Eric Lewis, who worked for the city’s water department, has been charged with murder in connection with Seiber’s death. Authorities noted that Lewis has a criminal history.
