HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) stepped up to the podium to address the nation on Sunday afternoon, 12 hours after a man set fire to the governor’s residence while he and his family slept, forcing them to evacuate in the middle of the night.
The damage behind him inside the governor’s residence along Front Street was significant. The blackened and broken windows were visible as he started to speak, a reminder to the Pennsylvania governor just how lucky he and his family were to have been ushered out of harm’s way.
