A 38-year-old man named Cody Balmer is in custody for the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence in Harrisburg late Saturday night, Pennsylvania state authorities say at a press conference.
Balmer had homemade incendiary devices in his possession and made it inside the residence before leaving, according to the state police commissioner. He was apprehended on Sunday in the Harrisburg area.
