A local TV reporter was struck in the arm with a bullet fragment while covering a campaign event for a Democratic Senate candidate featuring former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R).

Missouri Democratic candidate Lucas Kunce - who's trying to unseat Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) - was shooting an AR-15 at the time, and was the only person shooting when KSHB-TV's Ryan Gamboa was struck.

Kunce, a former Marine, wrapped gauze around Gamboa's arm and applied a tourniquet using his belt, according to the <a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article294375174.html">Kansas City Sta</a>r, which notes that 'Kunce has his military background in campaign ads, some of which show him firing a gun.'

After he was treated, Gamboa soldiered on covering the event.

Maybe 'hunters' Kamala Harris and Tim Walz should have stopped by to offer some tips - like how to load a shotgun with your crotch?
