    Charlottesville Victim Identified as 32-Year-Old Woman Who Stood Up Against ‘Hate & Bigotry’ – By Associated Press / Aug 13 2017

    (CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.)- Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer called the killing of a 32-year-old woman and the injury of others by a vehicle at a rally in the city a “terrorist attack with a car used as a weapon.”

    He made the comments in an interview Sunday with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

    Heather Heyer died when a car rammed into a group of people who were protesting the presence of white supremacists who had gathered in the city for a rally.

    The car’s driver, James Alex Fields Jr. was charged with second-degree murder and other counts.

    The rally’s purpose was to condemn a decision by the city to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

    Federal law enforcement authorities have started a civil rights investigation into a deadly car crash in Charlottesville that left one protester dead and several others injured.
