Cody Balmer, 38, has been accused of firebombing Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's home, motivated by hatred. He scaled the perimeter fence carrying Molotov cocktails, causing significant damage while Shapiro's family was asleep inside. No injuries were reported. Balmer faces serious charges, including terrorism and aggravated arson, while the police confirmed a methodical approach to the attack; however, no official motive has been established. Governor Shapiro condemned the act, emphasizing the attack's timing during Passover, while Balmer's mother cited her son's mental health struggles as a contributing factor.
Lt. Col. George Bivens stated, "He clearly had a plan. He was very methodical in his approach," highlighting the deliberate nature of Balmer's attack.
Governor Shapiro expressed concern, stating, "If he was trying to terrorize our family, our friends, the Jewish community hear me on this: We celebrated our faith last night, proudly."
