Lee Vogler, a city council member in Danville, Virginia​, was set on fire by a man who entered the office of a local magazine where he worked, police said Wednesday.

A Danville City Council member was doused in gasoline and set on fire in what appeared to be a personal feud, the Danville Police Department said. Police said the two men knew each other and it appeared the attack stemmed from a personal matter and was not politically motivated.

The alleged incident happened at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday in the 700 block of Main Street. City council member Lee Vogler, 38, of Danville, was at his place of employment when the suspect entered the building and “doused him with a flammable liquid,” according to witness information obtained by the Danville Police Department.
