Missouri Democrat ‘Under Investigation’ by Authorities over Shooting Incident

An anti-Trump Democrat former congressman Lucas Kunce (D-MO) has come “under investigation” by authorities over an incident where a reporter was shot.

Kunce, who is now running as Missouri’s Democrat Senate nominee, held a campaign rally on Tuesday.

During the event, Kunce and other guests, including former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), opened fire on private property.

During the target shooting attempt, one of them ended up injuring a reporter.

Ryan Gamboa, a reporter, was hurt when something that seemed like a bullet fragment or a deflected round struck his arm.

Kunce and his guests were firing a high-powered rifle at steel targets a few yards away.

On Wednesday, several days following his campaign event, Kunce informed the local sheriff about the incident, according to his announcement.

The Daily Wire was looking into whether the Democrat may have broken the law by not reporting the gunshot incident.

After the report drew attention to the incident, Kunce apparently called the Clinton County Sheriff.

The event is still “under investigation,” according to the sheriff’s department, so they cannot divulge any other details at this time.

The Internet lit up with stories surrounding the shooting that took place in a campaign where the Democrat is attempting to take over from a Second Amendment-loving Republican who is overall well-liked.

Federalist CEO Sean Davis, also weighed in on the disastrous campaign event, saying:

“I’ve heard of campaigns going out with a bang, [but] this is ridiculous.”

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) spoke out in numerous tweets following the shooting.

Hawley blasted his opponent’s blunder, offering questions, criticism, and even safety advice.

“Lucas Kunce sets up a fake range to get a fake photo-op … and shoots a guy,” Hawley said in one tweet.

“It’s nuts. But it’s Kunce.”

He questioned his opponent’s legal status in another, saying “Serious question.

“Missouri law requires any person who causes injury with a firearm to file a report with law enforcement immediately.

“Did Lucas Kunce do that? Failure to do so is a crime.”

Hawley marveled at the response from the political hopeful, saying:

“Kunce shoots a guy and says ‘it’s a great day at the range.'”

In yet another tweet on the event offered a possible solution for reporters:

“I will provide safety gear for all reporters covering Lucas Kunce.

“Free of charge. Enjoy!”
