Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion burns over Passover… Josh Shapiro, family evacuated safely

Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family have evacuated from the Pennsylvania governor’s residence after celebrating the Passover, where the man allegedly set the building on fire…and the suspected arsonist is currently in custody.
A 38-year-old man from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – was arrested after officers said they had spread across the fence into the facility and entered the country attractively.
Photos of the fire damage show that the interior of this part of the residence – a large room for a large gathering – was burning badly… Only a stack of plates in the center of one table appeared to have survived.
The building’s windows are shattered… It’s unclear whether this was caused by a fire or by someone breaking through them.
Officers allege that Ballmer brought homemade baking device devices to the property for an attack they claimed to be carefully planned.
Governor Shapiro told reporters he was woken up at home by a statetrooper around 2am on Sunday… he celebrated the Jewish holiday commemorating the Israelites’ escape from slavery – his wife, four children, two dogs and another family that celebrated the Passover.
Dauphin County District Attorney Francis Chardo has already announced that Ballmer will be charged with attempted murder, terrorism, attempted arson and aggravated the attack.
The motive for the attack is unknown, but it appears that Governor Shapiro believes this was done because he is Jewish… “When I was in the dining room in the state last night, we talked about Passover.
The room they celebrated Passover was a burnt room.
Last night, at the governor’s residence, we experienced attacks not only in our family but throughout Pennsylvania.
This type of violence has become too common in our society and must stop. pic.twitter.com/5hp5jsvgfc

Shapiro also condemned political violence in his speech outside the residence… Please tell the framed reporter that it doesn’t matter whether it commits violence on any side.
