Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said an “arsonist set fire” to the governor’s residence early Sunday morning, prompting his family to evacuate. The governor and his family were present in a separate part of the house, and they were “evacuated safely and were not injured,” according t o a statement from the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP). “Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg,” Shapiro wrote in a post on the social platform X. The Harrisburg Bureau of Fire “successfully extinguished” the fire, but “it caused a significant amount of damage to a portion of the residence,” the PSP said. The PSP, which is leading a “multi-agency investigation” into the incident, said it “is prepared to say at this time that this was an act of arson.” The PSP is offering a reward of up to $10,000 through PSP Tips "for the arrest and conviction of the individual(s) responsible." Those with information are encouraged to call 1-800-4PA TIPS (1-800-472-8477). Shapiro thanked law enforcement agencies for keeping his family safe. “Every day, we stand with the law enforcement and first responders who run towards danger to protect our communities. Last night, they did so for our family – and Lori and I are eternally grateful to them for keeping us safe,” Shapiro added in his post on X. ...read more read less
