Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro wrote that there is a “shared responsibility to do better” in an opinion piece published Wednesday in the New York Times, continuing his call for society to reject political violence after an arsonist attacked the governor’s mansion last week.

"The devastation was shocking, and to me, it did not appear to be an accident," he wrote of the moment the Harrisburg Bureau of Fire chief took him back inside the building. "The damage was too extreme. It looked like a bomb had gone off in the middle of our home."
