Authorities searched Monday for a suspect who fatally shot a Wauwatosa (Wis.) Police officer, who was found with multiple gunshot wounds.

Officer Jennifer Sebena, 30, was found near the Wauwatosa Fire Department's parking lot at Harmonee and Underwood avenues. Dispatchers had failed to reach Officer Sebena on her radio shortly before 5 a.m., reports the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Sebena, who began serving the community in January 2011, had completed her probationary period in November. She leaves behind a husband.

young112 @ 12/25/2012 7:14 PM Firemen die, makes the national news, police officer murdered and officers dying every day, not so much.... sad. RIP Officer Sebena.
Tom Ret @ 12/25/2012 8:39 PM The lame stream media is more interested in sensationalism and police scandals than dead cops. Firemen getting shot is a new low for our society however.
Morning Eagle @ 12/25/2012 10:31 PM Way back in the 60's, 70's and 80’s we used to say all the media was interested in was "buckets of blood" and the more the better. I think they have descended even lower today. Hopefully the ambush of the firemen was an isolated event but there are copy cats out there that surely took note of all the publicity those murders received. Sadly, when a single police officer is murdered it seldom makes it beyond local coverage and then only for a few days, except for the family and friends left to mourn. Whoever killed Officer Sabena must be found and destroyed.
Hal Wilkens @ 12/26/2012 1:06 AM I am sorry for your loss. What the hell is going on, is it open season on police officers. I hope they had camera's on the parking lot, but a small dept. probably can't afford them. I hope they catch the bastard and shove a needle in his or her arm. Another sad day for police officers everywhere. She is in God's hands now. RIP
