‘Mind blowing insanity’: Dem Senate candidate ripped after accidentally shooting local reporter at gun range After declining to support Vice President Harris, the Red State Dem Senate candidate was hit with a blistering ad: “UNACCEPTABLE”
‘Mind blowing insanity’: Dem Senate candidate ripped after accidentally shooting local reporter at gun range After the Democratic candidate challenging Sen. Josh Hawley for Missouri’s Senate seat unintentionally shot a reporter during a campaign event on Tuesday, social media went wild.
Lucas Kunce, the Democratic candidate for the Senate, wrote on X on Tuesday, “Great day at the range today with my friend @AdamKinzinger.”
“While enjoying our independence, we had the opportunity to socialize with a few union employees. Keep your first aid kit close at hand at all times. When you hit a target like today, shrapnel can always fly, so you have to be prepared. We were able to handle the problem since we had four first aid kits, and I’m happy Ryan is doing well and can keep reporting.
According to the Kansas City Star, Kunce, a Marine Corps veteran who was firing an AR-15 at the time, dressed his wound with gauze after a bullet splinter hit Ryan Gamboa’s arm, leaving him the only person hurt.
Conservatives swiftly responded to X on social media, with one commenter, Hawley, writing, “I know the Kunce campaign needed a shot in the arm, but this is taking it a little far…”
“Democrats Lucas Kunce & Adam Kinzinger apparently accidentally shot a reporter at an event today,” Abigail Jackson, director of Hawley Communications, said on X. “Are these guys trying to make Tim Walz look competent with a gun?”
