A man named Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes attacked and poured gasoline on Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler before setting him on fire, according to Virginia police.

Lee Vogler, a city council member in Danville, Virginia​, was set on fire by a man who entered the office of a local magazine where he worked, police said Wednesday.

Lee Vogler ran through a building covered in gasoline in an attack investigators say stemmed from a “personal matter” that was unrelated to his work as councilman.
