Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's official residence in Harrisburg was set on fire early Sunday morning in what authorities are calling an arson attack.
The suspect, identified as Cody Balmer, is in custody, though his motive remains unclear. Governor Shapiro, who is Jewish, had hosted a Passover Seder in the same room targeted by the fire just hours before the incident. State leaders and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court have condemned the attack, expressing relief that the governor and his family are safe.
Shapiro has vowed not to be intimidated and to continue celebrating his faith openly.
