Police in Kentucky have detained a person suspected of a Monday morning “assassination attempt” on a Democratic party candidate for Louisville city mayor.
The Louisville Metro police chief Erika Shields said at a lunchtime press conference that the unidentified shooter entered Craig Greenberg’s fourth-floor suite in a downtown office building at about 10.15am and fired multiple shots.
Neither Greenberg, who is running for his party’s nomination for city mayor in the upcoming Democratic primary, nor any of his staff were struck, Shields said, although Greenberg’s clothing was nicked by a round.
Greenberg tweeted that he and his campaign team were safe and uninjured, and that he planned to give an update later. Television footage showed Greenberg and several colleagues being led from the building by a heavily armed Swat team.

No, they should be arrested for and charged with attempted Murder. Detainment isn’t the same as arrest. I mean I am no lover of the Dems but trying to kill another human is straight wrong.

SPC Thor Sacchi - You are correct. Unless they don't have the evidence to charge that person and are still working it.

Lt Col Charlie Brown if they were caught attempting the assassination, that’s a bit of a “hand in the cookie jar” thing.
