38-year-old Cody Balmer of Harrisburg was arrested and charged with multiple felonies, including attempted homicide, terrorism, aggravated arson, and burglary, following an early morning arson attack on the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence on Sunday night.
According to a court document obtained by The Gateway Pundit, Balmer meticulously planned the assault. Balmer entered the Governor’s Mansion around 1:43 a.m. on Sunday.
Security footage obtained by law enforcement shows Balmer breaking into the piano room on the south side of the residence, igniting the first fire, then moving to the dining room to ignite a second device.
The flames caused significant damage to the historic mansion, where Shapiro, his wife Lori, their four children, and extended family were celebrating the Jewish holiday of Passover just hours earlier.
Upon turning himself in, Balmer confessed to harboring hatred toward Governor Shapiro and admitted that he intended to harm the governor with a hammer if confronted.
A search of Balmer’s home uncovered key pieces of evidence—including the “Snap-On” jacket, black bag, and hammer matching those seen in the security footage.
Gasoline-soaked gloves discarded on a nearby street were also found in a trash bin and matched surveillance evidence.
Thank God, this criminal was immediately captured following the arson attack.
What is weird about the Balmer case is that this man’s Facebook page is still live on the social media platform.
When was the last time you saw this happen?…… Never! Authorities ALWAYS take down the social media of criminals after such a high-profile event.
So why is Balmer’s social media page still available to the public?
