• BREAKING: Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion Firebombed in Suspected Terror Attack
    A violent act of arson targeted the Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion in Harrisburg early Sunday, April 13, 2025. Governor Josh Shapiro, his family, and guests were safely evacuated after state police detected the fire around 2 a.m.

    Authorities have arrested 38-year-old Cody Balmer of Harrisburg, who allegedly scaled a security fence and ignited multiple fires using homemade incendiary devices. Balmer faces serious charges including:

    Attempted Murder

    Aggravated Arson

    Terrorism

    Aggravated Assault

    The attack occurred on the first night of Passover, which Governor Shapiro and his family were actively observing — raising serious concerns over potential hate-based motives.

    Governor Shapiro condemned the act, calling it “a targeted assault on safety, faith, and democracy.” Federal agencies including the FBI and DOJ have joined the investigation.

    The mansion, built in 1968, sustained major damage to its southern ceremonial wing.
