Court documents show the suspect admitted to Danville police that "it was his intention to kill councilman Vogler."

Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler begins his first surgery after being set on fire, according to a statement from his wife.

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.
