Virginia State Police troopers can be seen in the background of the video, standing behind barricades on First Street North. Police did not move as the man who fired the gun walked with a group of rally attendees farther west down Market Street.

Corinne Geller, spokeswoman for the state police, confirmed that state troopers can be seen in the video, but said that, from where they were standing, none of the troopers witnessed the incident.

“Nor did they hear the single shot being fired because it was muffled by the loud volume of the crowd yelling and chanting, drums and music,” she said. “Had any one of our troopers witnessed that incident, they would have immediately acted, just as they did for the other four arrests made during the weekend.”

Charlottesville police did not respond to additional questions regarding the video by press time.

According to the city police news release, authorities are continuing to investigate the vehicle attack. Fields has been charged with second-degree murder, five counts of malicious wounding, three counts of aggravated malicious wounding and one count of felony hit and run in relation to the incident. Additional charges could be filed as the investigation progresses, police said.
