The governor declared a state of emergency, and police dressed in riot gear ordered people out. The group had gathered to protest plans to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, and others arrived to protest the racism.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Korbon, a 22-year-old University of Virginia student, said several hundred counter-protesters were marching when &quot;suddenly there was just this tire screeching sound.&quot; A silver Dodge Challenger smashed into another car, then backed up, barreling through &quot;a sea of people.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The impact hurled people into the air. Those left standing scattered, screaming and running for safety in different directions.<\/p>\n<p>The driver was later identified by police as James Alex Fields Jr. of Ohio. Police say Fields, 20, has been charged with charged with second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count related to leaving the scene.
