The man suspected of firing a gun into a crowd of counter-protestors at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia has been arrested, Charlottesville police confirmed.
A video tweeted by the ACLU of Virginia shows a white-haired man descending the steps of Emancipation Park, where the rally was held. He passes by a group of counter-protestors, some of whom yell at the rally attendees to ?go home". One counter-protestor appears to throw an object at them.
The man identified by police as Mr Preston turns to the crowd and draws his weapon, yelling, ?Hey n*****!? Someone in the crowd warns others to get down.
The man lowers his weapon, then raises it again and appears to fire one shot into the crowd. As he walks away, someone in the crowd cries: ?That was a gunshot!?
