Virginia Politician Doused in Gasoline then Set on Fire
Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler, 38, was set on fire Wednesday in what police say was a targeted personal attack at his place of work, Showcase Magazine.
According to the Danville Police Department, officers responded around 11:30 a.m. to the Main Street office after a man, later identified as Vogler, was doused with a flammable liquid and ignited outside his workplace.
He was airlifted to a regional hospital, and the extent of his injuries is unknown.
The suspect, Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, of Danville, fled the scene but was arrested without incident nearby. Police said the assault stemmed from a personal matter and was not politically motivated.
When reached for comment, Danville PD referred Newsweek to its press release.
"Based on the investigation at the time of this release, the attack stems from the ongoing wave of left-wing political extremism," DPD said in a statement.
Later Wednesday, Hayes was charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding, according to ABC 13 in Virginia. He is being held at the Danville City Jail without bond.
According to a video posted by the publication on Facebook, the suspect entered the building and doused Vogler with a five-gallon bucket of gasoline before chasing him to the front of the office and igniting the fuel, and shouting campaign slogans from Biden's 2020 presidential bid.
