I hope that last paragraph is true.
Danville City Council member Lee Vogler was attacked at the office of a local media outlet, Showcase Magazine, where he works, in Danville, a small city roughly 45 miles northwest of Greensboro, North Carolina, police said in a statement.
A man entered the office Wednesday morning and confronted Vogler before he doused him in flammable liquid, authorities said. Vogler and the suspect then exited the building, where the suspect lit Vogler on fire, they said.
Police said that Vogler was airlifted to a hospital and that his condition remains unknown.
Police identified the suspect as Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, of Danville. He fled but was picked up by law enforcement several blocks away, police added.
Police said the attack "stems from a personal matter not related to the victim’s position on Danville City Council or any other political affiliation."
