(The Center Square) - Gov. Josh Shapiro provided an update on investigations into the arson that occurred at his Harrisburg residence over the weekend. His update comes after details about the case, and with them about the alleged attacker Cody Balmer, have come to light - including that he was struggling with acute mental illness. A potential motive for the crime was mentioned in a search warrant obtained by PennLive. It stated that in a 911 call following the attack, Balmer said that he “will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people.” Shapiro has distanced himself from controversial writing on the topic of Palestine during his college career, however he has indicated support for Israel’s prosecution of the war and advocates for a two-state solution.
