Dauphin County officials have released the audio of the 911 call made by alleged arsonist Cody Balmer after a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the dining room of Governor Josh Shapiro's mansion last weekend.

Balmer begins the minute-and-thirteen-second call by saying he wants to apologize, but does not say for what.

Instead, he gives a sort of brief manifesto...

He goes on to say Shapiro should "get his eyes off of" Balmer's daughters, though it's not clear what he may be talking about

Seemingly referring to the war in Gaza, he says he's "tired of offering extensions of peace."

And he tries to justify his violence to the operator...

He promises to confess to everything, then hangs up. He turned himself in to a Pennsylvania State Trooper shortly after the call.

He tells the operator that he "wishes no harm on anybody" (as he put it) but that Governor Shapiro is doing harm to everyone.

He ends the call by promising to turn himself in...

Balmer denied to the judge in his case that he has mental illness, though his mother says he does, and had gone off his meds.

His public defender says his hearing to determine competency to stand trial will be continued.
