The charges against him include attempted criminal homicide, aggravated arson, burglary, terrorism, and other counts. Gov. Shapiro and his family were inside the home at the time of the attack, but thankfully no one was injured. Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire, but there was substantial damage to the residence. Balmer’s motive for the attack has not been revealed. The incident is being investigated by the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office.
