Councilman Burned in Attack, Fundraiser Tops $55,000 | JQJO

Virginia City Councilman Lee Vogler, 38, is in critical but stable condition after being severely burned in a workplace attack. A GoFundMe campaign launched by friends and family has raised over $55,000 to aid in his recovery from second and third-degree burns covering more than half his body. The suspect, 29-year-old Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, has been arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding. The attack was reportedly unrelated to Vogler's political career.
