Back in the United States, Pennsylvania authorities have arrested and charged a man suspected of setting fire to Governor Josh Shapiro’s home while he and his family were asleep inside Sunday. Shapiro and his family were safely evacuated. Governor Shapiro spoke following the incident.
Gov. Josh Shapiro: “This type of violence is not OK. This kind of violence is becoming far too common in our society.”
The suspect said he had been planning to beat Shapiro with a hammer if he encountered him. Authorities said they found a sledgehammer. The threat is drawing comparisons to the 2022 invasion of Congressmember Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home by a far-right attacker, who assaulted Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi with a hammer.
