[Sister Iroz]

Two men are in custody and a third is being sought in Delaware in connection with the fatal shooting of one police officer last night and the wounding of another.

Patrolman Chad Spicer died at Beebe Medical Center in Lewes, where Cpl. Shawn Brittingham was in guarded but stable condition this morning with a neck wound, according to Cpl. Bruce Harris, a spokesman for Delaware State Police.

Wanted for questioning is Christopher Reeves, 20, of Lincoln, a Sussex County town about 15 miles north of Georgetown, where the shootings occurred around 6:45 p.m. After a report of shots fired from a vehicle in the parking lot of a McDonald's restaurant on DuPont Highway, the two officers saw a Chrysler Sebring matching a description and pursued, according to Harris.

As the suspects got out and began to run, a single shot was fired, striking Brittingam, who was getting out of the patrol car, and killing Spicer before he could get out of the cruiser.

Reeves is described as about 5-foot-6 and 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information about his location is asked to call Troop 4 at 1-302-8..., Crime Stoppers at-1-800-847-3333.

Anyone needing immediate assistance should call 911.

The names of the two in custody were being withheld.

Suspect's mother speaks:

GEORGETOWN, Del.- The mother of Christopher Reeves, who police are searching for in connection to the deadly shooting of a Georgetown patrolman Tuesday night, is calling on Reeves to turn himself in.
"I just want him to know that I love him, and I want to be here with him," said Shanda Giddens. "I want to go through this with him. I want him to come and turn himself in, so that we can get this behind us and go on with our lives.
Giddens said she believes he is innocent, but is also worried about the condition he might be in.

"I just want to make sure he's eating', he's not cold," she said. "I don't know where he is."

With Mommy Dearest by his side, how nice.

Christopher Reeves, who was wanted for questioning in the slaying of police Officer Chad Spicer, turned himself in Friday morning after spending nearly four days in a heavily wooded area a few blocks from the scene of the shooting.
[...]

Investigators said Reeves was not helped by anyone until he reached out to his mother, Shawnda Giddens, of Lincoln.

"He was doing some survival eating, I guess you'd call it," Newton said. "It wasn't like he was having hot meals delivered to him. ... The only thing I could really say at this point is you and I would not be comfortable under the conditions he was staying in."

After meeting with state police, Reeves' mother appealed publicly Thursday for her son to turn himself in. He reached out to see how she was and Giddens persuaded him to surrender, Newton said.

Police are not sure how he made contact with her, they said.
[...]

Wearing a white jumpsuit, Reeves said nothing as reporters questioned him. ... A bandage covered an injury near the back of his neck.

This poor family, the officer who died, his family's house just got robbed....

Georgetown police say the home of slain officer Chad Spicer, who died after being shot on duty Sept. 1, was burglarized over the weekend.

Officers are asking for help in identifying those involved in the burglary in the first block of Alfred St.

"We just got a phone call saying that it happened," said Bruce Spicer, Chad's older brother. "I don't know what was taken. There was nobody living there," Spicer said.

Bruce Spicer said his father was at the home, sorting items.

A woman who answered the phone at the Spicer family home said the family did not want to comment on the incident.

Lt. Lawrence Gross said Georgetown police could not go into detail about what was taken. He said police don't have any suspects in the incident. Gross said a family member discovered the home had been burglarized during a visit to the site. The home had not been trashed, Gross said.

"The only statement I can make about our feelings is the fact that we lost Patrolman Spicer and for somebody to break into his house and steal his property is just very disappointing to us," Gross said. "It is unbelievable that on top of what Patrolman Spicer's family is dealing with, now this happens and just adds to the pain."

Police said they believe the home had been broken into several times.

"My parents are pretty upset about it," Bruce Spicer said. "They are trying to get things squared away."

Spicer said this was an especially hard time for the family because another family member, a cousin, had recently died and the funeral is soon.

Chad Spicer, 29, died on Sept. 1 after being shot during a chase with his partner, Cpl. Shawn M. Brittingham. The two were responding to a call of a shooting at a McDonald's restaurant in Georgetown. Brittingham was wounded in the shooting. Spicer was the first police officer killed in the line of duty in Georgetown.

Derrick J. Powell, 22, of Cumberland, Md., was charged with first-degree murder in Spicer's death. Christopher Reeves, who police said drove the Chrysler Sebring that Powell was in, was charged with two counts of violation of probation, resisting arrest and failure to stop at the command of a police officer
