LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Democratic mayoral candidate in Kentucky’s largest city said he is “shaken but safe” after a man stormed his campaign headquarters and fired a weapon directly at him. A bullet grazed Craig Greenberg’s sweater and shirt, but he escaped injury Monday morning — as did four colleagues who were with him. Police Chief Erika Shields says it appears Greenberg appeared to be targeted. Greenberg said he was at his campaign office with four colleagues when a man appeared in the doorway with a weapon. A suspect is in custody. Police say the motive remains under investigation. The suspect appears to have acted alone.
