A man is in custody in relation to the fire set at Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s official residence in Harrisburg early Sunday, officials said.

Cody Balmer, 38, was taken into custody and will be charged with attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson and aggravated assault against an enumerated person, Dauphin County Pennsylvania District Attorney Fran Chardo said at a news conference Sunday. Balmer may also face federal charges, Chardo added.

A motive was not clear, but officials believe it was a targeted attack, Shapiro said at the news conference.

He said he spoke Sunday afternoon to FBI Director Kash Patel, who offered federal government resources.
