Councilman Survives Fire Attack

A brutal arson attack on Danville Councilman Lee Vogler in July 2025 left him with 60% body burns — but justice delivered a heavy blow: his attacker, Shotsie Buck-Hayes, got 40 years in prison plus 5 years probation for attempted murder and malicious wounding. Though Buck-Hayes claims it was a personal dispute and expresses regret, Vogler says the attacker “went above beyond to try and kill me.” Despite the trauma, Vogler is focused on recovery and returning to public service — a message of resilience echoing through a shaken community.
