If someone is struggling with a mental illness and is in custody, they should be evaluated and treated in custody. We must work together to fix this system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSadly, like others who suffer from a broken system, my team and my family have been traumatized again by this news,\u201d Greenberg added. However, he expressed optimism that the Louisville Metro Police Department would handle the investigation properly. \u201cThat said, I trust LMPD to carry out this investigation properly so that the individual responsible for trying to kill me will be prosecuted appropriately. Regardless of what leads someone to commit a violent crime, there must be consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greenberg called on his supporters and residents of Louisville to work together to \u201cfix this system so it works for everyone and is focused on preventing violent crime from happening.\u201d In the meantime, Greenberg said, \u201cI will remain focused on the urgent work to make Louisville safer, reduce senseless gun violence, and combat the root causes of crime. And, I will lead the effort to invest more in mental health resources in all of our neighborhoods and especially in our jails.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The shooter] and his family are hurting. My family and team are hurting. I pray for everyone involved in this alarming incident,\u201d Greenberg concluded.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Statement from Craig Greenberg: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eSGcJDCk5B\">pic.twitter.com\/eSGcJDCk5B<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Craig Greenberg (@RunWithCraig) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RunWithCraig\/status\/1494368391687192576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Greenberg was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/louisville-mayoral-candidate-shot-at-in-assassination-attempt-suspect-arrested\">attacked Tuesday<\/a> at his campaign headquarters in what some have called an assassination attempt, as The Daily Wire previously reported. Local news outlets said at the time that the shooter walked up to Greenberg\u2019s HQ, where staff greeted him, before he pulled out a gun and began firing. No one was hurt, but one of the bullets reportedly grazed Greenberg\u2019s sweater. The shooter was identified as a 21-year-old activist and a student at the University of Louisville, with a history of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/alleged-louisville-shooter-recently-met-with-black-nationalist-group-praised-violent-radicals-on-social-media-report\">radical racial activism<\/a>, as well as some alleged mental health issues. He was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/racial-justice-socialist-activist-quintez-brown-accused-of-attempted-murder-shooting-at-louisville-mayoral-candidate\">charged<\/a> with attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment. On Wednesday, a bail fund created by the Louisville chapter of Black Lives Matter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fund-created-by-blm-louisville-posts-bail-for-man-accused-of-shooting-at-mayoral-candidate\">posted the $100,000 bail<\/a> set for the shooter.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) also blasted the shooter\u2019s release. \u201cOn Monday, my hometown of Louisville was stunned by what appears to have been an assassination attempt against a Jewish mayoral candidate by a prominent&nbsp;far-left activist who\u2019d previously called for defunding our Police Department,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mcconnell-blasts-radical-left-media-silence-after-shooter-bailed-out-by-louisville-blm-associated-bail-fund-jaw-dropping\">McConnell said<\/a> on the floor of the Senate Thursday. \u201cThis far-left Black Lives Matter activist and defund-the-police cheerleader walked into a Jewish Democrat\u2019s campaign headquarters and opened fire. Obviously, every aspect of this is still under investigation, including the suspect\u2019s mental condition. But guess what: He\u2019s already been let out of jail. A left-wing bail fund partnered with BLM Louisville to bail him out. \u2026 This is just jaw-dropping. The innocent people of Louisville deserve better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
