Authorities say Danville Councilman Lee Vogler knew his attacker and the assault stemmed from a personal matter, not Vogler’s service on the city council.

Lee Vogler, a city council member in Danville, Virginia​, was set on fire by a man who entered a local magazine office, 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.
