1 Dead, 19 Injured in Downtown Charlottesville 

At least one person was reportedly killed and several others eere injured when a car sped into a crowd of people who were protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday, an event marred by brawls that resulted in Gov. Terry McAuliffe declaring a state of emergency. Video from separate witnesses showed a gray sports car with Ohio license plates speeding toward a crowd from at least a block away, and then slamming into the back of two vehicles that were surrounded by people, sending bodies flying. “I am heartbroken that a life has been lost here,” Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer said in a tweet.”I urge all people of good will—go home.” The day’s chaos first began as far-right groups gathered in the morning for one of their largest demonstrations in at least a decade, with some carrying Nazi and Confederate flags.
