Philadelphia police officer Shane Seiber killed in shooting: Live coverage

Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said Shane Seiber's wife was beside him at the hospital, where the officer died hours after being shot early Saturday morning. Seiber had served on Philadelphia's police force for a decade.

CBS Philadelphia's "Philadelphia police officer Shane Seiber killed in shooting: Live coverage" follows the officials' announcement of his death. Bethel described the hope they had held for Seiber's survival and thanked those who had offered support. Another officer was wounded in the West Philadelphia shooting.

The live coverage drew about 64,000 views in its first 11 hours, far beyond the station's usual audience for a regular-length upload. A separate district attorney update also drew unusually high views; its description says a suspect is in custody, according to officials.

The station continued its reporting Sunday with a shorter account explaining that Seiber had been responding to a call when he was shot.
