Story highlights Virginia State Police say their officers nearby were unaware of the incidentThere have been no reports of injuries from the gunshotNew York (CNN) A man who is suspected of firing a gun at counterprotesters during the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month has been arrested, police said Saturday. In the video, counterprotesters appear to throw objects at right-wing marchers. After several seconds, the man in the video, who is wearing a load-bearing vest, with a pistol on one leg and extra magazines on the other, turns away from the argument and walks away. The man aims again, seemingly lower, and quickly fires a shot, before turning around, holstering his weapon, and rejoining the march. As the camera pans to follow the man, police officers in high-visibility vests -- including Virginia State Police troopers in their distinctive hats -- can be seen manning barricades some 50 feet away.
