anville City Councilman Lee Vogler, 38, was set on fire Wednesday in what police say was a targeted personal attack at his place of work, Showcase Magazine.
According to a press release from the Danville Police Department, officers responded around 11:30 a.m. to the Main Street office after a man, later identified as Vogler, was doused with a flammable liquid and ignited outside his workplace.
He was airlifted to a regional hospital, and the extent of his injuries is unknown.
The suspect, Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, of Danville, fled the scene but was arrested without incident nearby. Police said the assault stemmed from a personal matter and was not politically motivated. Charges are pending.
"Please keep our colleague and our brother in your prayers," Danville vice mayor James Buckner told ABC 13.

According to a video posted by the publication on Facebook, the suspect entered the building and doused Vogler with a five-gallon bucket of gasoline before chasing him to the front of the office and igniting the fuel.
Andrew Brooks, the publisher and owner of the magazine, said in the Facebook video that Vogler is conscious and able to communicate. Brooks said he was being treated at the burn center in Lynchburg, Virginia.
"This type of senseless act of violence has to stop," an emotional Brooks said in the video. "You do not have the right as a human being to get upset with someone enough to lash out and attempt to harm them, in any way, much less this way."
Police are interviewing the Associate Publisher of Showcase Magazine, who witnessed the attack, Brooks said. Read more Virginia
