*The Ohio man accused of mowing down a crowd of peaceful counter-protesters at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville has been indicted on 10 felony counts, including first-degree murder, reports the Associated Press.

Court records show a grand jury returned an indictment Monday against 20-year-old James Alex Fields. Prosecutors say he drove into dozens of people protesting the rally that drew hundreds of white nationalists to the Virginia college town. A 32-year-old woman, Heather Heyer was killed, and authorities say 35 people were injured.

Fields, described by a former teacher as fascinated with Nazism, was initially charged with second-degree murder. The charge was upgraded last week.
