“A man is in jail in Danville, Virginia, accused of intentionally setting City Councilman Lee Vogler on fire in a ‘personal attack’ unrelated to his political position or affiliation. Investigators said the suspect entered the local magazine office where Vogler works, doused him in a flammable liquid, and set him on fire outside the building. … A receptionist from a nearby business reported that one of their employees saw Vogler and rushed to help extinguish the flames. Vogler was later airlifted to a burn unit at a hospital in Chapel Hill. [Shotsie] Hayes was found several blocks away and taken into custody, charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding.” (07/31/25/25)
