One of the wounded men was taken to a hospital by rescue personnel, and the other was described as a “walk-in,” meaning he arrived by other means.

Trial date set in suit over Lee statue
A circuit court judge has scheduled a trial for Oct. 19 to consider whether Gov. Ralph Northam can remove the enormous statue of Robert E. Lee from state property on Richmond’s Monument Avenue.
Judge W. Reilly Marchant ruled Tuesday against efforts by state Attorney General Mark R. Herring (D) to dismiss the case. Marchant stripped some plaintiffs from parts of the suit for lack of standing, and threw out a portion of the case that questioned whether a particular section of state law prohibited Northam (D) from removing the statue.
But the bulk of the suit remains, brought by several residents of the historical neighborhood around the Lee memorial. The residents claim that Northam’s action violates a resolution adopted by the General Assembly in 1889 establishing the monument, as well as promises to protect the statue in the 1887 and 1890 deeds conveying the property to the state.
This is the third version of the lawsuit seeking to protect the statue; two others were withdrawn.
