The arson attack lasted for several minutes. Shapiro and first lady Lori Shapiro, as well as other guests and staff members, were inside the residence when the fire erupted around 2 a.m. No one was injured, and Shapiro's family was safely evacuated. However, prosecutors said the residence sustained "substantial damage."

The man accused of carrying out an arson attack on the Pennsylvania governor's mansion was allegedly motivated by his views on the ongoing war in Gaza.
