Charlottesville Police Chief Al Thomas has been empowered to \"regulate, restrict or prohibit any assembly of persons, or the movement of persons or vehicles\" on any public property including parks, streets and sidewalks, according to a release from city officials. <\/p>\n

The emergency ordinance passed City Council unanimously during an emergency meeting at the Albemarle County Office Building, according to the release. <\/p>\n

Mayor Mike Signer was quoted in the release, \"The Council's decision to give Chief Thomas the authority to enact a curfew as appropriate was made out of an abundance of caution.We did so, having full confidence in Chief Thomas and regional law enforcement's ability to make the final call. <\/p>\n

Chief Thomas has yet to take any action, according to the release. <\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has offered his condolences to the family of the woman killed when a car slammed into a crowd of pedestrians on the Downtown Mall. <\/p>\n

\"Condolences to the family of the young woman killed today, and best regards to all of those injured, in Charlottesville, Virginia,\" he tweeted. \"So sad!\" <\/p>\n

BEDMINSTER, N.J. President Donald Trump on Saturday blamed \"many sides\" for the violent clashes between protesters and white supremacists in Virginia and contended that the \"hatred and bigotry\" broadcast across the country had taken root long before his political ascendancy. <\/p>\n

Updated, 6:33 p.m. <\/p>\n

Charlottesville police Chief Al Thomas says a 32-year-old woman was killed when a car plowed into a crowd of counter-protesters on the Downtown Mall. The death is being investigated as a homicide, and the suspect is in custody, Thomas said. <\/p>\n

The identity of the woman is being withheld until family can be notified. <\/p>\n

Thomas said 35 people were injured during the Unite the Right rally and protests, adding that none was caused by the police. <\/p>\n

It is unclear if two deaths caused by a helicopter crash near Birdwood Golf Course are connected to the Unite the Right rally, authorities said, but The Associated Press cited officials in establishing a connection. <\/p>\n

President Donald Trump in a tweet said two Virginia State Police troopers died. \"Deepest condolences to the families & fellow officers of the VA State Police who died today,\" he wrote. \"You're all among the best this nation produces.\" <\/p>\n

The organizer of a rally that drew hundreds of white nationalists and other extremists to Charlottesville says he disavows the violence that eroded it. <\/p>\n

Jason Kessler said in an interview Saturday evening that whoever drove a car into a group of counter-protesters did the wrong thing. He said he was saddened that people were hurt. <\/p>\n

Kessler is a local blogger and activist who described the event as a pro-white rally. He planned it to protest the citys decision to remove a Confederate monument. <\/p>\n

He also criticized law enforcements response to the event, which was dispersed before speakers could take the stage. <\/p>\n

He said they did a poor job controlling the chaos to allow free speech. <\/p>\n
