Louisville police said Monday that a person walked into the office of a candidate for mayor and opened fire, with a round striking the candidate's clothing. Louisville Metro police chief Erika Shields said the suspect was detained by responding officers outside the building, and that no one was hurt.
It appeared the candidate, Democrat Craig Greenberg, was targeted in the shooting, Shields said. Police said they believe the suspect acted alone. There is no known motive at this time.
"Right now we are looking at this from all angles," Shields said when asked if there was any concern that other candidates for mayor were being targeted. "Until we can determine what the motivating factors were, we are going to keep an open mind and proceed with an abundance of caution with many of our community members."
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that the U.S. food supply is still "one of the safest in the world," in the wake of a number of foodborne disease outbreaks affecting items ranging from organic carrots to deli meats to McDonald's Quarter Pounders. E. coli, listeria and other contaminants have sickened thousands of people and forced a number of recalls in recent months.
We just had another election with a clear and verifiable victor, overseen by hundreds of thousands of election officials. Those public servants have suffered years of harassment, and despite their successes, are still being accused of taking part in a massive and impossible conspiracy — a conspiracy led by the party out of power to steal an election and cover up all evidence.
