A suspect identified as Balmer was caught on security cameras both inside and outside Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s residence, where he deployed incendiary devices that caused fires. Governor Wolf, who is Jewish, had shared Passover well-wishes just hours before the attack. Balmer, who confessed his ill feelings toward the governor, turned himself in after the incident. He had poured gasoline into beer bottles and walked to the Governor’s Residence with the intention of causing harm. Balmer, a former Army Reserve member with previous criminal charges, had a social media presence reflecting anti-government sentiments.
Following the attack, President Trump referred to the suspect as a “wack job,” while President Biden condemned the violence, emphasizing the need to stand united against hatred and violence. The suspect’s former employer expressed support for law enforcement, distancing themselves from Balmer’s actions. Balmer’s neighbor described him as an individual who gave off negative vibes, and court records indicated his history of criminal charges including forgery and theft.
The attack, which resulted in damage to Governor Wolf’s residence, highlights the importance of condemning violence and promoting unity in the face of adversity. Law enforcement officials continue to investigate the incident, with the suspect facing charges relating to the attack on the Governor’s residence.
