<p>Fischer was seen at multiple events earlier in the day, including the &#8220;Race for Justice&#8221; in honor of Breonna Taylor and walking in the &#8220;Kentuckiana Pride Parade,&#8221; the Courier-Journal noted.</p>
<p>In February, a Democrat candidate running for Louisville mayor survived a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/louisville-mayoral-candidate-shot-at-in-assassination-attempt-suspect-arrested">shooting</a> when local racial justice activist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/racial-justice-socialist-activist-quintez-brown-accused-of-attempted-murder-shooting-at-louisville-mayoral-candidate">Quintez Brown</a> allegedly pulled a gun on him. Craig Greenberg was unharmed in the shooting, even though he said a bullet grazed his sweater.</p>
<p>“This morning, I was gathered for a brief meeting with four of my incredible team members in our campaign office. A man walked into our office. When we greeted him, he pulled out a gun, aimed directly at me and began shooting,” Greenberg said in the statement. “The individual closest to the door managed to bravely get the door closed, which we barricaded and the shooter fled the scene.”</p>
<p>“Let me say again that all of us are blessed to be with you,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Despite one bullet coming so close that it grazed my sweater, no one was physically harmed, and we are extraordinarily grateful for our safety. We are shaken, but safe.”</p>
