Mother Of Woman Killed By Car During Charlottesville Protest Speaks Out

Susan Bro, the grieving mother of Heather Heyer, the woman killed by a vehicle while at a protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, is speaking out today, just 24 hours after the fatal incident.

“Heather always had a very strong sense of right and wrong. She always, even as a child, was very caught up in what she believed to be fair,” Susan told the Huffington Post today. “Somehow I almost feel that this is what she was born to be, is a focal point for change. I’m proud that what she was doing was peaceful, she wasn’t there fighting with people.”

She was a paralegal at the Miller Law Group in Charlottesville, where she worked in the bankruptcy department, according to the firm’s website.

James Alex Fields Jr. has been named as the Ohio man accused of driving a car into a crowd of people protesting at the rally in Charlottesville, Va.

Fields, 20, is charged with killing the 32-year-old woman and injuring 19 others, police said late Saturday.
