ALT Statement from Mayor Cherelle L. Parker: “Today, with a heavy heart, I announce the death of Philadelphia Police Officer Shane Seiber. He gave his life in service to the people of our city. Officer Seiber was 40 years old and leaves behind his wife and two young children, as well as his parents, siblings, colleagues and friends. My deepest condolences are with everyone who loved him. We are keeping his fellow officers in the 19th District close in our hearts as they grieve this loss. In recognition of Officer Seiber’s service, I have directed that all flags remain at half-staff until sunset on the day of his interment. To Officer Seiber’s family, please know that Philadelphia grieves with you and will stand with you in the days ahead.”
ALT Statement from Mayor Parker: “Earlier today, two Philadelphia Police Officers from the 19th District were shot in the line of duty in West Philadelphia. Both officers were badly wounded. They are both in surgery at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. Our prayers are with the Officers, their families, and every Philadelphia Police Officer. When our Police Officers leave their homes every day to go to work, they literally do not know whether -- or when -- they are coming home. They put themselves in harm's way every day, and put their lives on the line -- to protect the People of Philadelphia. These Officers are husbands and wives, sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers. They deserve our prayers and our support. I also want to thank all of the first responders and the doctors, nurses and medical personnel at Penn Presbyterian. They have our gratitude. I am a praying Mayor. God bless these officers, and God bless the City of Philadelphia.”

ALT Statement from Mayor Cherelle L. Parker: The hateful and degrading remarks attributed to a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives have no place in our Commonwealth, in our public institutions, or anywhere in our civic life. Homophobic rhetoric is unacceptable. For generations, LGBTQ+ people have endured stigma, discrimination, and cruelty. It is the responsibility of public officials to confront those stigmas, not perpetuate them. I want to affirm that Representative Malcolm Kenyatta is a son of Philadelphia and a dedicated public servant who represents his constituents and our city with pride. I stand with Malcolm and with LGBTQ+ Philadelphians, who should never have to question whether they will be treated with dignity and respect because of who they are. Disagreement is part of democracy. Hate should never be. Philadelphia will continue to stand firmly against homophobia, discrimination, and rhetoric that seeks to demean people because of their identity. Continued
