A recent shooting at a Louisville, Kentucky, bank was especially personal for the city’s mayor, Craig Greenberg
. Greenberg, a survivor of workplace gun violence himself, revealed that he had lost a close friend in the Monday morning attack. “Last year, I survived a workplace shooting. And now yesterday, I’ve lost a very close friend in another workplace shooting,” he said of Tommy Elliot, a senior vice president at the Old National Bank – where a gunman opened fire killing five. Last year, as a Democratic mayoral candidate, Greenberg had been the target of a shooting at his campaign headquarters.
We have had enough gun violence in Louisville. We have had enough gun violence in our country and it is time to take action. And so as mayor, I know I will be working with elected officials … with clergy with anyone who wants to be a part of the solution to take whatever actions we can to encourage our state legislatures to take action to give us more tools to end gun violence,” he said.
