Man Arrested for Arson at Pennsylvania Governor's Residence

News summary

A man has been arrested for alleged arson and terrorism following an attack at the official residence of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who was home with his family during the incident. The fire, which caused significant damage but resulted in no injuries, was extinguished after police intervened. Shapiro emphasized the need to end political violence, stating it is becoming too common, regardless of political affiliation. The suspect, Cody Balmer, 38, is facing charges including attempted murder and aggravated arson after he allegedly accessed the property and used homemade incendiary devices. Shapiro, who was holding a Passover ceremony earlier that night, expressed his determination to continue observing his faith despite the attack. Authorities are preparing a criminal complaint against Balmer, who took several minutes to evade police before setting the fire.
