A local Virginia city councilman was set on fire in a Wednesday morning attack that police say stemmed from a personal, rather than political, matter.

Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler, 38, was targeted in his office at Showcase Magazine, where the suspect dumped a five-gallon bucket of gasoline on him. Vogler then fled the building, but the suspect followed and set him on fire. The extent of Vogler’s injuries is unknown, according to police. The incident occurred around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday.
