Reporter Injured by Metal Fragment at Campaign Shooting Event

While covering a Senate campaign event at a private firing range in Holt, Missouri, reporter Ryan Gamboa was struck in the arm by a metal fragment. The candidate Lucas Kunce and supporters were shooting at metal targets with AR-15 style weapons. Only Kunce was shooting at the time Gamboa was struck, and it’s uncertain if he was struck by a bullet fragment or another piece of metal that may have ricocheted off one of the targets. He received minor injuries and was briefly treated at the hospital.
