The suspect in the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence said he targeted Jewish politicians about what he wanted to do with Palestinians, according to documents.
According to the search warrant, he called 911 following Sunday’s attack, followed by Sunday’s attack, identified himself by name and delivered a horrifying message addressed to the governor over the phone. Retrieved by Pennlive.
Balmer, 38, said Shapiro, who hosted Passover dinner hours before the flames, needed to know that he would not “participate in planning what he wanted to do with the Palestinians.”
“You know where to find me. I’m not hiding. I’ll confess everything I’ve done,” Ballmer said over the phone, according to the warrant.
State police said the accused arsonist targeted the Democratic governor “on the basis of perceived injustice against the Palestinian people.”
Ballmer untook the reporter – with his tongue sticking out to the photographer, giving him a sick face, leading him to the Cuffs on Monday, as he was led by Pennsylvania District Court.
The suspect surrendered himself to police at Harrisburg’s state headquarters on Sunday.
