Susquehanna Valley native Aubrey Nicole advances in ‘The Voice’ after dramatic save by Reba
HERITAGE AND THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY SCHOOLS THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED. SIX MONTHS AFTER THE GOVERNOR’S RESIDENCE IN HARRISBURG WAS FIREBOMBED, NEW SECURITY VIDEO GIVING US AN INSIDE LOOK AT THAT ATTACK AS CODY BOMBER METHODICALLY BUSTED OUT WINDOWS AND KICKED DOWN DOORS. IN WHAT PROSECUTORS SAY WAS AN ATTEMPT TO KILL GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO. AND ALL OF THIS COMING OUT OF BALLMER’S COURT HEARING TODAY. WELCOME TO NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE. I’M LORI BURKHOLDER AND I’M BRIAN ROCHE. OUR TEAM COVERAGE ON THIS STORY STARTS WITH THE GUILTY PLEA IN THIS ATTACK AND THE REACTION FROM PROSECUTORS AND GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO HIMSELF. TOM LEHMAN WAS IN COURT THIS MORNING. HAS MORE FROM THE DAUPHIN COUNTY COURTHOUSE IN HARRISBURG FOR US TONIGHT. TOM. LAURIE AND BRIAN CODY BALMER, THE 38 YEAR OLD MAN FROM PENBROOK WHO WAS THE PERSON POLICE SAID WAS THE SUSPECT IN THIS CASE. HE PLEADED GUILTY TO A LONG LIST OF CHARGES TODAY, FACING 25 TO 50 YEARS IN PRISON AS A RESULT OF THE SENTENCE. CHIEF AMONG THE CHARGES, HE PLEADED GUILTY TO WAS ATTEMPTED MURDER OF PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO. AND IN COURT TODAY, PROSECUTORS OUTLINED VERY PUBLICLY FOR THE FIRST TIME HOW THE ATTACK UNFOLDED. SURVEILLANCE VIDEO PLAYED IN COURT TUESDAY SHOWED THE MOMENT WHEN CODY BALMER BROKE A WINDOW AND SET OFF THE FIRST OF TWO FIRES IN THE GOVERNOR’S RESIDENCE WITH A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL. THIS WAS VERY COORDINATED. DAUPHIN COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY FRAN SAYS BALMER UNSUCCESSFULLY TRIED TO BREAK THROUGH A DOOR THAT WOULD HAVE LED TO WHERE GOVERNOR SHAPIRO, HIS RELATIVES AND OTHERS WERE SLEEPING. AFTER A SEDER DINNER. PROSECUTORS SAID BALMER INTENDED TO ATTACK SHAPIRO WITH A HAMMER IF HE ENCOUNTERED THE GOVERNOR. HE PLEADED GUILTY TO ACTING WITH THE INTENT TO KILL. AND THAT’S A SUBSTANTIAL STEP. SETTING SOMEBODY’S HOUSE ON FIRE. THE HOUSE WHERE THEY ARE ASLEEP WITH. THERE’S 20 PEOPLE ASLEEP IN THAT HOUSE. THAT’S A SUBSTANTIAL STEP. FOLLOWING THE GUILTY PLEA, GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO, ALONGSIDE HIS WIFE LORI, CALLED THE GUILTY PLEA A JUST OUTCOME AND SAID HE AND HIS FAMILY, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO WERE AT THE RESIDENCE DURING THE ARSON, ARE STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE DANGER. THEY WERE IN A DANGER HE ONCE BELIEVED COULD NOT HAPPEN TO HIM. THIS MADE IT ALL REAL AND IT BRINGS WITH IT A REAL SENSE OF VULNERABILITY THAT OUR FAMILY FEELS EVERY SINGLE DAY. SHAPIRO, IN REMARKS AT THE CAPITOL EARLIER TODAY, SAID THAT HE AND HIS FAMILY HAVE BEEN LEANING ON THEIR FAITH AND THE FAITH OF OTHERS AS THEY TRY TO CONTINUE PROCESSING WHAT HAPPENED AT THE RESIDENCE EARLIER THIS YEAR. SHAPIRO ALSO SAID THAT TODAY’S DECISION, THE GUILTY PLEA, IS A WAY TO HOLD THOSE WHO COMMIT POLITICAL VIOLENCE ACCOUNTABLE. PROSECUTORS HAD SAID THAT THE DEATH TOLL IN ISRAEL’S WAR WITH HAMAS IN GAZA APPEARED TO BE A MOTIVATOR FOR BOMBERS ATTACK IN HARRISBURG, TOM LEHMAN WGAL NEWS 8. AND YOU SAW A LITTLE PIECE OF VIDEO IN TOM’S STORY. AND AT THE TOP OF OUR NEWSCAST, WE ALSO RECEIVED SOME NEW SECURITY VIDEOS RELEASED BY THE DAUPHIN COUNTY DA’S OFFICE. NEWS EIGHT’S SARAH METZ IS DIGGING MORE INTO THE RELEASE OF THE THIRD PARTY INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF SECURITY AT THE GOVERNOR’S MANSION ON THE NIGHT OF THE BREAK. TODAY WE RECEIVED SEVEN MINUTES AND 38 SECONDS WORTH OF VIDEOS THAT SHOW CODY BOMBER HERE AT THE GOVERNOR’S MANSION THE NIGHT OF THE ARSON ATTACK ON APRIL 13TH. THESE FOUR VIDEOS WERE SHOWN IN COURT TODAY. YOU CAN SEE BOMBER WALK RIGHT UP TO THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE GOVERNOR’S MANSION. HE APPROACHES THE WINDOW, BREAKS IT, THEN THROWS A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL INSIDE. RIGHT AFTER, HE WALKS PAST A BACK DOOR TO ANOTHER WINDOW, BREAKING IT WIDE ENOUGH FOR HIM TO THEN CRAWL INSIDE. THE NEXT VIDEO SHOWS BOMBER INSIDE THE RESIDENCE. HE IS SPOTTED WITH ANOTHER MOLOTOV COCKTAIL IN HIS LEFT HAND AND A SLEDGEHAMMER IN HIS RIGHT. HE STARTS KICKING THE DOOR, WHICH LED TO WHERE THE GOVERNOR’S FAMILY WAS SLEEPING. ACCORDING TO THE D.A., HE ATTEMPTS TO USE THE SLEDGEHAMMER, THEN MOVES ON TO ANOTHER DOOR INSIDE THE HOUSE. YOU ALSO START TO SEE THE SMOKE COMING IN FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO BREAK THROUGH EITHER DOOR, BOMBER THEN WALKS BACK THE WAY HE CAME. THE NEXT VIDEO SHOWS BOMBER SET THE SECOND MOLOTOV COCKTAIL ON FIRE IN THE DINING AREA. NOW WHAT? THESE VIDEOS DO NOT SHOW IS HOW BOMBER BROKE THROUGH A SECURE PERIMETER AND EVADED OUTSIDE SECURITY MEASURES. THINGS THAT THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE AND PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE HAD A THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT REVIEW FOR $35,000. THE SECURITY REVIEW, ITS FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE PUBLIC, DESPITE REQUESTS FROM LAWMAKERS AND THE MEDIA. IF THERE ARE PARTS OF THAT REPORT THAT TALK ABOUT WHAT WE’VE ALREADY SEEN AS PART OF PUBLIC COURT PROCEEDINGS AND PUBLIC COURT RECORDS, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO HAVE, AT A MINIMUM, THOSE PROVISIONS OR THOSE PARTS OF THAT REPORT RELEASED THE RETIRED STATE TROOPER WHO CONDUCTED THE REVIEW, JEFFREY MILLER, SAID IN A STATEMENT TODAY. THE SPECIFIC FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OUTLINED IN MY REPORT CONTAINED SENSITIVE, PROTECTED INFORMATION THAT, IF RELEASED PUBLICLY, WOULD PUT THE SAFETY OF THE GOVERNOR AND HIS FAMILY AT RISK. THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE HAS NOT RESPONDED TO OUR FOLLOW UP REQUESTS FOR ITS RELEASE TODAY. IN HARRISBURG, SARAH METZ, WGAL NEWS EIGHT. AND THIS CASE HAS BEEN STEADILY DEVELOPING FOR MONTHS LEADING UP TO TODAY’S GUILTY PLEA. FOR MORE ON THE COURT HEARINGS, AS WELL AS WHAT GOT US TO THIS POINT, YOU CAN SCAN THAT QR CODE YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN TO BE TAKEN TO OUR FULL COVERAGE ON WGAL.COM, AND THEN LATER ON NBC NIGHTLY NEWS AT 630. NBC’S STEPHANIE GOSK WILL ALSO LOOK INTO THIS CASE. AND WE’RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK OVER LANCASTER HERE TONIGHT. YOU CAN SEE SOME BLUE SKIES, SOME CLOUDS THERE AS WE SAW SOME SUNSHINE FOR A LITTLE BIT TODAY. MUCH BETTER DAY TODAY THAN YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY THOUGH DID NOT GET OFF TO A GOOD START. IT WAS RAINY AND GRAY THIS MORNING, BUT AGAIN, LET’S FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE. METEOROLOGIST ETHAN HUSTON. WHERE ARE WE HEADED FROM HERE? WELL, THAT’S THE THING, BRIAN. WE ARE SEEING THAT DRIER AIR MOVE ON IN ERODING THAT CLOUD COVER SLOWLY ACROSS THE VALLEY. THANKS TO THE CLOUDS, THOUGH, WE DID STAY COOL TODAY WITH TEMPERATURES STAYING BELOW AVERAGE. ONLY MADE IT TO THE LOW TO MID 60S FOR OUR HIGHS, AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE SUNSHINE IS IMPACTING THE TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH THE CLOUDS. STILL 62 RIGHT NOW IN LANCASTER, BUT UP TO 64 IN CHAMBERSBURG. HAD A BIT MORE SUNSHINE THROUGH THE DAY. BUT AS WE PUT THE SATELLITE INTO MOTION, LOOKING AT LIVE RADAR IN THE STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK, YOU CAN SEE THE BULK OF THE CLOUDS SLOWLY ERODING, AND THAT TREND WILL CONTINUE AFTER SUNSET, TEMPERATURES WILL DIP DOWN INTO THE MID 50S TONIGHT AND THE WINDS WILL START TO RELAX. NOW GOING THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT, IT IS GOING TO BE SEASONABLY COOL. TOMORROW WE WILL SEE MORE SUNSHINE AND IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT WARMER, BUT THE WINDS WILL PICK UP LIKE WE SAW TODAY. IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER BLUSTERY DAY. NOW FOR YOUR THURSDAY. I EXPECT QUIET WEATHER, BUT WE COULD SEE ANOTHER FROST ACROSS PARTS OF THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS COOLER AIR SETTLES ON IN ACROSS THE REGION, BUT THIS COOLDOWN WILL BE BRIEF. WARMER WEATHER AND WET WEATHER
