An armed man seen on top of a building near the Robert E. Lee Memorial in Richmond was arrested this morning (June 20).
Police urged people to leave the area after an armed man was spotted on top of a building near the memorial during a protest demanding its removal.
"Protesters have been camping out at the memorial for over a week demanding its removal, and counter-protesters have been threatening them on social media and defending the statue. There were unconfirmed reports that at least two rifles were found in the suspect's car," the filmer told Newsflare.
