LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky man who shot at Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg when he was a candidate in 2022 was sentenced Friday to 17 years and 6 months in federal prison after a tense sentencing hearing where Greenberg spoke of the harm the attack has caused.

I don’t know how I miraculously survived,” Greenberg wrote Friday. “Six gun shots fired directly at me from close range by a person I did not recognize.”

"It is only a miracle ... that no one was hurt, possibly killed," U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton said after a four-hour sentencing hearing.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The man who pleaded guilty to trying to shoot then-mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg is scheduled to be sentenced today. Quintez Brown, 24, of Louisville, will be sentenced on federal charges of interfering with a federally protected right with a dangerous weapon and discharging a firearm during a violent crime.

Quintez Brown was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison Friday for shooting then-Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg.
