Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Lucas Kunce accidentally shot a reporter, Ryan Gamboa, with shrapnel during a campaign event

Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Lucas Kunce accidentally shot a reporter, Ryan Gamboa, with shrapnel during a campaign event. Kunce and former Congressman Adam Kinzinger were firing at steel targets when the incident occurred. Gamboa sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was treated at a hospital. Kunce helped provide first aid at the scene. The incident has sparked criticism online, with figures like Senator Josh Hawley mocking Kunce. Quotes: “Great day at the range… Shrapnel can always fly when you hit a target.” “I condemn all acts of violence against reporters.” – Josh Hawley

So Kunce didn’t “shoot” the reporter but a fragment of a round ricocheted off the target and struck the reporter. Photos before incident look like Kunce was firing at a (presumably steel) target from well under 10 meters. What a stupid, reckless photo op. – Tweet
