LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Democrat Craig Greenberg has won the Louisville mayor’s race after surviving a shooting at his campaign office earlier this year. Greenberg defeated Republican Bill Dieruf, the mayor of a small city incorporated inside the boundaries of Louisville’s Metro area. Greenberg escaped the attempt on his life unharmed, but a bullet grazed his sweater. A local social justice activist was charged in the shooting and remains in federal custody. In a victory speech Tuesday night, he alluded to the shooting when thanking his campaign team, some of whom were in the office when the shooter opened fire.
