Officer Hector Rodriguez was shot 12 times on 52nd Street in West Philadelphia on Oct. 10. Another officer, Sgt. Shane Seiber, was shot three times and later died from his injuries.
Rodriguez, a 33-year-old father of five, had been “up and walking” since last week, according to law enforcement sources.
Rodriguez and his wife appeared at Seiber’s funeral Tuesday at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, and Seiber’s family and multiple speakers showed love to the surviving officer.
