No one was injured and the fire was extinguished, according to authorities.

The Pennsylvania State Police, the agency looking into the suspected arson, stated that although the fire had been put out, it had caused substantial damage to a section of the residence.

Confirming that the investigation is still ongoing, the State Police announced that, at present, they believe the incident was an act of arson, although they have not identified any potential motive.

Describing the alarming experience, Shapiro shared, “Last night around 2am, my family and I were awakened by the sounds of banging on the door by the Pennsylvania State Police following an arson attack on the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

“Thank God no one was injured and the fire was extinguished.”

Authorities have announced a reward of up to $10,000 for tips for the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible, Axios reports.

Shapiro has held the title of Governor of Pennsylvania since January 2023.

He entered the 2022 race for governor as the only Democratic candidate up against Mastriano, a staunch supporter of Trump.

Shapiro also worked as chair of the board of commissioners in Montgomery County from 2011 to 2017 and as a state representative from 2005 to 2011.

The 48th Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is also an American lawyer.
