Some more drone photos from the Pennsylvania State Capitol on Monday after Sunday’s snowstorm. It’s a cool perspective to see the snow on the Capitol Dome and on the pylons of the State Street Bridge. #Harrisburg #dronephotography #dji #HarrisburgPA #mavicair3s

Pennsylvania House lawmakers are in town for a single voting session day this week as the 2026 legislative session gets underway for them. Here's an aerial shot of the State Capitol in Harrisburg from my drone on Monday after Sunday's snowstorm. #dronephotography #DJI #mavicair3s #Harrisburg

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has signed an emergency disaster proclamation ahead of the snow storm expected in the Keystone State this weekend, freeing up some $3 Million for emergency response and clearing some red tape for state agencies related to the weather event.

A very deflating loss to end the #Eagles season. A lot will be said about Elliott or the drop but to me the most telling this about this season is how much more prepared one side of the ball looked than the other—pretty much throughout. The play calling must be addressed.

A big crowd full of Josh Shapiro supporters and union workers are at the Alan Horowitz “Sixth Man” Center in Philadelphia for the second of the Democratic governor’s re-election campaign rallies. Sen. Vincent Hughes is working the room ahead of Shapiro’s remarks. @wgal8.bsky.social

BREAKING: State Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Franklin/Adams Counties, says he is not running for Pennsylvania governor in 2026. #PApol #Commitment2026 @wgal8.bsky.social

DOOOOOOP!!! Huge win for the Union tonight…bring on NYCFC/Charlotte! #DOOP #CHIvsPHI

This is embarrassing.

Faiz Sharif, the 6-year-old boy injured by a vehicle that plowed into a crowd at this year’s Kipona Festival in Harrisburg is expected to be released from the hospital today, his family said. @wgal8.bsky.social

Pennsylvania State Police confirm three police officers are dead and two others have been wounded after a shooting in York County this afternoon.

Huge stop by the Eagles coming out of halftime. Have to get some points here! #Eagles #FlyEaglesFly  #PHIvsKC

Go Birds. Beat the Chiefs. #Eagles #PHIvsKC #FlyEaglesFly

It wasn’t pretty (or timely—Thanks, Mother Nature) but the Eagles took care of business against the Cowboys. Go. Birds. #FlyEaglesFly #DALvsPHI

Go Birds. That is all.

LEWISTOWN, Pa. —

This should go without saying but do not call 911 to test if it works. If service is restored, testing calling 911 without a real emergency will jam up lines and require follow-ups from operators.

#BREAKING: Dauphin County is experiencing a total 911 and non-emergency phone failure. Alert sent out to smartphones says to go to local fire station if you have an emergency or call: 717-215-9637 717-210-6051 717-215-9507

Harrisburg Treasurer Dan Miller says he "just did the minimum to keep all his options open" but the Democrat accepted the Republican write-in nomination for mayor. He narrowly lost to incumbent Mayor Wanda Williams by 80 votes in the Democratic primary. www.wgal.com/article/mill...

Gov. Josh Shapiro is in Dauphin County this morning for a bill signing—to end Pennsylvania’s longstanding ban on Sunday hunting.

WASHINGTON — It’s unbearably hot here, too.

Spotted this at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence: several large trees have been cut down around the property as it undergoes security upgrades following the arson there earlier this year.

Police in Lower Allen Twp. say a summons was issued for 45-year-old Ronald Melusky after he was caught on camera placing "I love Nazi" and "Ask me about my microscopic penis" stickers to a Cybertruck with a custom wrap back in April, causing what a news release described as $3,710 worth of damage.

Pennsylvania’s Department of Education has announced that effective June 17, Harrisburg School District will no longer be under receivership.

As the budget-crunching month of June kicks off in Harrisburg, the governor is at Capital Area Transit today highlighting mass transit funding proposals in his budget plan.

Polls are closed in #Pennsylvania and the election results will be coming in soon for Harrisburg's Democratic Primary for Mayor. Will Mayor Wanda Williams secure a second four-year term? We'll have live coverage coming up on @WGAL News 8 @ 10 and 11. #PApol

HARRISBURG, Pa. —

It’s debate night in Harrisburg—a week ahead of the Democratic mayoral primary. Tasmin Mahfuz and I are hosting our debate, which gets started at 7 p.m. on WGAL. Tune in!

At today’s Dauphin County commissioners meeting, Commissioner George Hartwick has returned after a month-long absence following a DUI charge and crash in a county vehicle.

Just how busy is it at the Pennsylvania Capitol today—amid all the lobbying groups with press conferences, rallies, etc.? Capitol police had to limit access to the building several times because it was at capacity and any more people would have been a fire hazard.

State Sen. Dan Laughlin (R., Erie), who chairs the Senate committee charged with weed, on the House state store bill: "If a bill comes over that sells cannabis out of state stores it’s going in the trash."

News: A bill to legalize recreational marijuana in Pennsylvania, and sell it out of state run stores ala wine and liquor, has passed out of a House committee along party lines. The proposal, heavily opposed by the cannabis industry, now goes to the chamber floor.

I spoke with Dauphin County Commissioner George Hartwick, who was back in the office today about a month after he was charged with DUI following what authorities said was a crash in his county-owned vehicle. "I'm not going anywhere," Hartwick said amid calls for him to resign.

Happy #MayThe4th everyone! Here’s some of my favorite iconic music from the series! youtu.be/wc_0ii3SLp0?...

This year’s Broad Street Run was more of a struggle than previous years but it was a blast and I’m proud of being able to participate! Congrats to everyone who ran today! Great work! #broadstreetrun #Philly #IBXBSR25

The sequel: What if Harrisburg was Pittsburgh?

Alternate-Earth Harrisburg as dreamed up by an AI

A pretty bizarre sight in Harrisburg today, as a multi-vehicle crash knocked an electronic message board over the side of the I-83 South Bridge and left it dangling above the Susquehanna River. @wgal8.bsky.social

#NEW: Dauphin County has released the recording of a 911 call from Cody Balmer following the arson at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg. Prosecutors say Balmer started the fire with Molotov cocktails. He’s facing a host of charges, including attempted murder.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is in Derry Township for the ribbon-cutting at a new Hershey plant. It marks his first public appearance since the arson at the Governor’s Residence on Sunday, which saw Shapiro and others evacuated after an intruder set fires inside the mansion. @wgal8.bsky.social

Cody Balmer, the man accused of breaking into the Pennsylvania Governor's Residence and lighting a fire with molotov cocktails, was arraigned Monday on several charges, including attempted murder. He stuck his tongue out at reporters asking him questions as he arrived to court. @wgal8.bsky.social

Photos from inside the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg, following the arson there overnight (via PA Cast). A Seder dinner was held there last night amid the first night of Passover. @wgal8.bsky.social

State police said Cody Balmer, 38, of Dauphin County, was taken into custody in connection to the overnight arson at the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg. PSP Col. Paris said it’s being investigated as an attempted homicide case. Shapiro said “this type of violence is not OK” and has to stop.

We’re at the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg, where Gov. Josh Shapiro is expected to speak about the arson here this morning that led to he and his family being evacuated. Fire damage and a broken window are visible from the outside. @WGAL

#BREAKING: An overnight fire at the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg is being investigated as arson, according to Pennsylvania State Police. Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family were at home in a different part of the home. They were evacuated safely.

#NEW: Herschend announces it is acquiring Palace Entertainment's U.S. Entertainment properties, including Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster County and Kennywood in Allegheny County.

Delaware Blue Hens with a hell of a run that falls just short in the CAA finals. 5 games in 5 days is a heavy lift, but they went all the way to the wire. Fun run for UD.

Tough loss for Delaware in their CAA finale, but they put up a hell of a fight as an exciting run came to end. Proud of them! Go Hens. #UDel #BlueHens #NetDE
