The suspect in the arson attack at the governor’s residence is being denied bail.   Thirty-eight-year-old Cody Balmer made his first appearance in court yesterday on charges including attempted homicide, terrorism, aggravated arson and more, for allegedly breaking into the mansion 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.
