A 38-year-old Virginia city councilman, J. Lee Vogler 38, was doused with five gallons of gasoline and set on fire, resulting in his hospitalization.
According to police, his assailant, Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, stormed into Showcase Magazine building in Danville, where Volger is a managing partner, and attacked him over a “personal matter.”
Volger, said to have been conscious and speaking when emergency services whisked him away, was subsequently airlifted to Central Lynchburg General Hospital.
