🚨 Arsonist Arrested in 'Targeted' Shapiro Attack

Gov. Josh Shapiro, his wife, and four children fled the governor's official riverfront mansion at about 2 a.m. Sunday — the first night of Passover — after police say a Harrisburg man scaled a fence, broke into the home, and started a fire while the Shapiro family slept. No one was injured, but state police say the arson fire caused a “significant amount of damage.” The person in custody is facing felony charges, including attempted murder, terrorism, and arson.
