Shapiro says we have to be better.
The man accused of setting fire to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home on the first night of Passover told authorities he hated the governor — and said he would have beaten him with a hammer if he’d found him, according to a criminal complaint.
Shapiro gave remarks about the attack outside his home on Sunday.
“We do know that this attack was targeted … This kind of violence is becoming far too common in our society and I don’t give a damn if it’s coming from one particular side or the other…” Shapiro said.

Shapiro also shared details in a post on X:
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. The Harrisburg Bureau of Fire was on the scene and while they worked to put out the fire, we were evacuated from the Residence safely by Pennsylvania State Police and assisted by Capitol Police. Thank God no one was injured and the fire was extinguished. 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. @PAStatePolice is on the scene leading this investigation and will keep the public updated.
