Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said an “arsonist set fire” to the governor’s residence early Sunday morning, prompting his family to evacuate.

The governor and his family were present in a separate part of the house, and they were “evacuated safely and were not injured,” according to a statement from the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP).

“Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg,” Shapiro wrote in a post on the social platform X.

The Harrisburg Bureau of Fire “successfully extinguished” the fire, but “it caused a significant amount of damage to a portion of the residence,” the PSP said.
