A city councilman in Virginia was savagely set on fire by a lunatic who stormed into his workplace carrying gallons of fuel and ignited the lawmaker Wednesday morning in the latest sickening attack against an American elected official.
Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler was allegedly set on fire after Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, barged into Showcase Magazine, a local monthly publication, and dumped a five-gallon bucket of gasoline on the pol around 11:30 a.m., according to the Danville Police Department and the outlet’s publisher, Andrew Brooks.
Vogler, a 38-year-old married father of two, managed to escape the office and ran to the front of the building, but the monster followed him and torched him.
The extent of Vogler’s injuries is unknown, but Brooks noted he was awake and talking following the terrifying incident and was being taken to a burn center in Lynchburg.
