The suspect in the arson attack at the Governor’s Residence is being denied bail. Cody Balmer made his first appearance in court yesterday on charges including attempted homicide for allegedly breaking into the residence and starting a fire early Sunday morning while Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were sleeping. Harrisburg Fire Chief Brian Enterline said the fire likely caused millions of dollars in damage. Balmer’s mother told CBS News he is mentally ill and was off his medication.
